Do you keep getting pulled into the same frustrating relationship patterns—overthinking, shutting down, getting overwhelmed, or struggling to say what you really feel? If this sounds familiar, therapy can help. I work with thoughtful adults and couples who appear successful on the surface but feel stuck in patterns of disconnection. My approach is attachment-focused, trauma informed, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, helping you change the emotional dynamics beneath conflict, distance, and self-protection.
I help thoughtful adults and couples understand the relationship dynamics that keep them stuck. Together we slow down conflict cycles, explore the emotions beneath reactions, and build clearer communication and stronger emotional connection.
If closeness, communication, or conflict in your relationships feels harder than it should, you’re not alone. Therapy offers a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and begin building more secure, connected relationships.
