You may find yourself repeating the same patterns. You think it through and try to approach things differently, yet you end up returning to the same situations, reactions, and outcomes. I practice psychoanalytic therapy, where we focus on what happens at the point where something doesn’t go as intended, where something gets in the way or begins to repeat despite your intentions. These patterns often emerge in the therapeutic setting itself, allowing us an opportunity to work with them directly.

It hurts to feel disconnected from your partner, parent, or child. And sometimes the harder you both try to close that distance, the farther apart and more lonely you both end up feeling. Yet you keep using the same ineffective relationship strategies, because you don't know what else to do! Or maybe you just give up. If yours is like most relationships, you're already spending enough time and effort trying to make it work -- you're just spending it in the wrong way. I can help you redirect your efforts using an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

I work from a psychodynamic and relational perspective because I truly believe that our early experiences and the relationships we've had deeply shape who we are.

Life can come at you pretty hard sometimes. But you’re doing what you’re supposed to do—working, showing up, handling responsibilities—but something feels off. Maybe it’s your relationships, sense of direction, or a general feeling that things just aren't working the way you want them to. I specialize in helping you navigate relationships, emotional disconnection, communication, identity, and life direction. Some clients come in feeling quietly stuck, while others are dealing with more direct challenges like career pressure, intimacy issues, addiction, or that heavy feeling that you're supposed to somehow “have it all figured out.”

Being compassionate with our self is important when we undertake personal change. Our internal critic and negative thoughts can leave us feeling defeated. When we're disconnected from our authentic self or from others, we suffer. Disconnection can result from many circumstances, for example living by other's expectations at the expense of pursuing our own goals. Or, the busy pace of life can leave people feeling disconnected and alienated. When we re-connect with our self and other people, we're more able to manage life's stressors using healthy means and live a more peaceful and contented life.

I work with clients who feel a difficult experience or life transition has shaken their sense of who they are.

In our work together, we create a safe, compassionate space to explore your story, reconnect with your strengths, and build a life that feels aligned, grounded, and authentic.
