I work with individuals and couples facing trauma, relationship challenges, and anxiety or mood issues, particularly those seeking to build emotional awareness and self-esteem while addressing patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and avoidance.
Using a relaxed, relational approach, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore insights, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen emotional connections.
I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and use a flexible, trauma-informed approach, incorporating different evidence based techniques to best meet my clients' needs.
I believe therapy is more than just symptom relief. It is a way to heal deeper wounds and build a stronger, more authentic version of yourself. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to help you decide if we’re the right fit to work together.
