I work with couples who feel stuck in repeating cycles of conflict or emotional distance. You may argue without resolution, feel unheard, or notice the closeness fading. Beneath frustration or withdrawal is often hurt, fear, or a longing for reassurance. Together in session, we work to restore connection, communicate safely, and build a secure, supportive relationship.

I specialize in couples therapy and use an attachment-based lens, integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. I help partners slow down, understand their patterns, and respond to one another with greater attunement. Sessions are structured to create a thoughtful, balanced space that is culturally responsive where both partners feel heard.

If you feel discouraged or disconnected, you are not alone. Reaching out for support is a meaningful step toward change. If you are ready to build a more secure and connected relationship, request a free consultation to explore whether working together is the right next step for you and your relationship.
