Life is so much better when we're connected! I am passionate about partnering with individuals, couples and families as they journey to wholeness and relational connection. I specialize in Emotion Focused Therapy, a therapeutic approach that focuses on attachment as I help my clients learn about themselves, their relationships and how certain behaviors and patterns impact oour relationships. Research has shown that healthy attachment is crucial to our well-being, allowing us to interact and do relationships in ways that encourage and empower us.

Why do we feel persistent guilt, shame, sadness, anxiousness, anger or hopelessness? Why do we find ourselves in situations and relationships that are hurtful and unsatisfying? Why do we repeat unhealthy behaviors? Why can't we find the motivation to become who we know we are capable to be? Why are we addicted? Often it is because we are relying on maladaptive coping skills and defense mechanisms to navigate challenging or even traumatic experiences. I whole-heartedly believe in the ability and resiliency of the human spirit and I offer a safe and therapeutic environment in which to process, learn, grow and develop healthier skills.
