Are you feeling stuck, anxious, or discontent with either your personal life or your relationship? You're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of transition, when conflict or disconnection are taking a toll, or when something just feels "off" but hard to name. As a trauma informed therapist, I help individuals and couples uncover the root of recurring patterns, build emotional resilience and move toward lasting change. Whether you're seeking premarital counseling, navigating relationship struggles or working through anxiety or self-doubt, I provide a supportive, compassionate space for healing and growth.
As a trauma-informed, psychodynamic therapist, I understand the importance of a compassionate space where you can feel safe to explore current challenges, heal from past trauma and address difficulties in your relationships. Drawing from a wide range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work to fit your unique needs and goals.
One of my main approaches in couples therapy is Emotionally Focused Therapy. This highly regarded approach transforms conflict and strengthens connection. Internal Family Systems, informs my work with individuals, helping clients reconnect to a sense of hope and inner strength. Set up complimentary consultation to explore how therapy can support your growth.
