I work with individuals and couples dealing with the impact of trauma, relationship challenges, and anxiety or mood concerns. I especially enjoy helping people build emotional awareness and self-esteem, while working through deep rooted patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and avoidance.
My style is relaxed and relational. I focus on creating an open, supportive space where you can explore your experiences and develop healthier ways of coping, relating, and connecting.
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.
