I specialize in working with couples who want to heal from past experiences, improve communication, understand each other, develop a deeper bond, and balance freedom with connection. With an attachment lens, we address topics such as sex, gender, culture, health, spirituality, monogamy, polyamory, childhood trauma, and psychedelic integration. I help you reshape the way you respond to yourself and your partner around painful experiences. I believe that healing happens in relationship, and offer warmth and curiosity to help explore the truth of your experience in order to heal and embrace life's challenges.
I am extensively trained and supervised in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals and couples. My approach is relational, holistic, somatic, psychodynamic. The modalities I use are: EFT, Relational Somatic Healing, Transformational NLP, and Internal Family Systems. I'm influenced by feminist, psychodynamic, humanistic, and somatic psychology.
I'd love to meet you for a complimentary 20-ish minute zoom meeting, with no expectation of further commitment. Consultation can help you make an informed and empowered decision about picking a therapist, whether that's me or someone else. I hope to connect with you soon!
