As a former doula, yoga teacher, birth educator, and mother of a child with Autism, I have witnessed and experienced the hardships of the child rising season of life. I help mothers, couples, men, and teens heal relationship patterns, ease anxiety, and reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy. My approach centers on attachment, emotional safety, and the deeper needs that drive our reactions and relationships. Whether you’re a new parent feeling overwhelmed, a couple stuck in painful cycles, a man wanting to communicate and connect more deeply, or a teen struggling with anxiety
My approach is human to human, compassionate, relational, and evidence-based. I collaborate with my clients and integrate modalities to best fit my client's needs. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR to help clients uncover the roots of their distress, heal emotional attachment wounds.
Reaching out for help takes courage — especially when you’re used to holding it all together. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and connected in your life and relationships, I’d be honored to support you.

The foundation of my framework is Emotionally Focused Therapy. I immediately start creating an alliance with my clients to walk along side them in their journey. I track their current coping strategies and cycle of being stuck. Then, we go in deeper -sometime using EMDR to process the root issue. I draw from my background as a yoga teacher using somatic work, mindfulness.
