People that come to see me are individuals and couples who feel stuck in distressing patterns of disconnection, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. They may be carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles that they know they want to get out of but don't quite know the way through. They long for safety, clarity and belonging. Some want to reconnect with their partner after months or years of conflict or distance; others hope to feel more at home in themselves, yearning to untangle the shame or pain that keeps them from living fully.
I help clients slow down and make sense of their inner world and their relationships. As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples (EFT) therapy and parts work (IFS) informed, I guide individuals and couples to uncover the deeper emotions and protective patterns that often drive conflict and disconnection.
Starting therapy is one of the most vulnerable, nerve-wracking and courageous things you can do (I've been there myself!). I also know the relief of feeling truly heard and the hope that comes with change. Therapy can help you find your voice, heal stuck communication patterns, and build more authentic connection to yourself and those you love.

In my work with couples, I aim to gently guide partners out of painful patterns and into deeper connection. Rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), our work will focus on creating safety, fostering vulnerability, and restoring a sense of secure attachment. It's a privilege to hold space for the tenderness and transformation that can emerge in this process.
