If you’re here, something probably feels heavy. Your mind won’t slow down, you second-guess yourself, or feel like nothing is ever enough. You may hold it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside. You care deeply, but that sensitivity can leave you anxious and stuck. In your relationship, you may have the same conversations over and over, walking away feeling misunderstood and frustrated. You want to feel close again, but don’t know how to get there. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, repair and create deeper, secure connection again but with yourself and/or your partner. You don’t have to do this alone.
With a compassionate, respectful foundation, I partner with you in an active, collaborative way. I help you reconnect with your inner strengths and build lasting self-worth and meaning. I tailor therapy to your needs, drawing from ACT and humanistic approaches. With couples, I use EFT methods to deepen connection, improve communication, and foster intimacy.
If you’re struggling, I am here for you. I offer a warm, compassionate space rooted in kindness and trust. Together, we’ll nurture your mental health so you can reconnect with your strength, clarity, and worth. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you in discovering the gifts that have always been within you.

I work with couples (poly or monogamous) who are feelings misunderstood or resentful toward each other. During our initial session we will delve deeply into the current issues and collaborate on the best plan for addressing them in a way that helps each partner feel seen, more connected and a general sense of a deep and foundational trust.

I often utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy when working with couples. In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and identify any obvious, major attachment wounds that appear to get in the way of your current life. With EFT we will look deeply at how you communicate and how each partner can become more understanding of one another.
