I am passionate about helping individuals and couples understand the patterns that shape their relationships and create more meaningful connection. Whether you're navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust concerns, or relationship wounds from the past, therapy can provide a space to explore what's happening beneath the surface and create lasting change. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, deeper connection, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and the people who matter most.
My therapeutic approach draws from relational therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and parts work. I offer an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients and support individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, trauma, and difficult past experiences while building self-awareness and healthier connections.
Finding the right therapist is such a personal process. I bring authenticity and compassion to sessions, creating a space where you feel understood and supported. I work with those seeking more than talk therapy, deeper self-understanding, and meaningful change. Let's connect through a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.
