Are you feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, or overwhelmed—longing to be understood and held in a space where your pain makes sense? If your relationships feel strained or your sense of self feels uncertain, you don’t have to face it alone. My approach is grounded in deep empathy, honest exploration, and the healing power of emotionally attuned connection. Together, we’ll explore both the visible and hidden layers of your experience—unpacking early attachment patterns, honoring core emotions, and fostering deeper self-acceptance and relational safety. I provide an inclusive, secure space for all identities and backgrounds.
I work relationally, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and psychodynamic principles to help you understand how your past shapes your present. Together, we’ll explore emotional cycles, heal attachment wounds, and create space for deeper connection, insight, and compassionate self-understanding—rooted in safety and growth.
Healing begins with feeling safe, seen, and supported. In attuned presence, the brain can revise its stories and transform the inner maps that shape how we engage with self, others, and the world. If you're longing for deeper connection or relief from emotional burdens, I offer a space of care and curiosity. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.
