My clients are often overthinkers, cycle-breakers, and deeply feeling people who are tired of carrying things alone. Some feel stuck in old patterns, relationship struggles, anxiety, self-doubt, or conflict that never seems to resolve. I work with individuals and couples who are ready for something to shift, even if they are not yet sure what that looks like. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?” I’m interested in understanding what you’ve been through, how it shaped you, and how we can build on your strengths to create lasting change. My goal is to help you relate to yourself with greater compassion, clarity, and trust.
I am a trauma-certified, attachment-oriented therapist who works relationally with individuals and couples. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we explore patterns, improve communication, and understand how past experiences shape current relationships. I also draw from my Gottman Method Couples Therapy training in my work with couples.
Therapy is a place to get clarity, even about the parts you usually keep quiet or carry alone. Whether you’re struggling personally or in your relationship, you do not have to untangle it all by yourself. Together, we make sense of what’s been shaping your inner world and help you feel more grounded and understood.

Success for me is when your inner voice grows kinder, and what used to derail you loses its grip. Anxiety and stress aren't just in your head, it can live in your body, breath, and sense of safety. I help clients understand their roots, reconnect with their inner steadiness, and use insight and deeper awareness to find lasting relief.

Our relationships, past and present, shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. I use a relational approach to help you notice patterns, deepen self-awareness, and experience new ways of being in connection. In our work, the therapeutic relationship becomes a space to feel seen, supported, and empowered to show up more fully in your life and relationships.
