You're carrying something heavy — maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet, a relationship that feels stuck, or wounds from your past that keep showing up in your present. You long for connection but find it hard to trust. You may feel like you've tried everything, yet something still feels off. You want more than symptom relief — you want to understand yourself, heal at the root, and build relationships marked by real intimacy and peace. Whether you're navigating betrayal, attachment struggles, life transitions, or the quiet ache of not feeling fully known, you're ready to do meaningful work. You want a therapist who sees you.
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families heal relational and emotional wounds using Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, ACT, and IFS parts work. I also integrate a Christian worldview for clients who want faith to be part of their healing. My approach is warm, honest, and tailored to your unique story.
You don't have to keep carrying this alone. Whatever brought you here — pain, hope, or simply a sense that something needs to change — that's enough. I'd love to walk alongside you. Reaching out takes courage, and I honor that. You are worthy of healing, and change is truly possible.
