You may be feeling lost, disconnected, or overwhelmed by recurring patterns that seem hard to change — whether from trauma, grief, depression, or relationship difficulties. Many long for healing, deeper connection, and renewed meaning in life. Feeling understood and empowered to move forward can seem challenging, especially if it’s unclear where to begin.
I work with adults, and couples facing trauma, PTSD, grief, depression, and attachment challenges. My integrative approach includes Gestalt, ACT, inner child, and compassion-focused therapies. For couples, I use Gottman and emotionally focused–informed methods to strengthen connection and communication.
Healing can feel daunting, but with the right support and safe space, the strength and tools to reconnect with yourself and relationships are already present. Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in empathy, curiosity, and connection. Whether seeking individual healing or strengthening a partnership, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s begin.
