Life changes can affect how we view ourselves, connect with others, and manage stress. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, facing relationship conflict, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can help you find clarity and create meaningful change. I work with teens, adults, and couples to feel more calm and steady, build healthier relationships, and better understand themselves.
Together we will explore emotions, build communication skills, and find ways to manage worry and stress. My goal is to help you feel more aligned with yourself, work through conflict, and develop practical tools that support lasting growth.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Attachment, EFT, Gottman, CBT, and DBT, to help you build healthier relationships, deepen self-understanding, and create a life that feels more balanced. My hope is that you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

I believe healing happens when we care for both the mind and body and take time to understand the experiences that have shaped us.
