Do relationships feel like the place where old wounds resurface? You may notice yourself shutting down, escalating, or chasing connection in ways that leave you more depleted than before. Perhaps you've been told you're "too much" or "too sensitive"—or you carry a quiet sense that something is wrong with you. I work with individuals and couples navigating relational trauma, attachment wounds, and the ways early experiences show up in present-day connection. This includes nervous-system-rooted presentations like ADHD, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation—often shaped more by relational history than we realize.
I draw from IFS, EFT, Gottman, and somatic practices to work at the body and relational levels—not just the thinking mind. As a systemic therapist, I trace how family history and cultural context shape your patterns, supporting lasting change in how you relate to yourself and others.
If you're part of the global majority, part of the LGBTQ+ community, or navigating the layered weight of culture, faith, or immigration—you deserve a space that holds all of that. You don't have to shrink yourself here. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit.

Grounded in humanistic and somatic practices, I use mindfulness to help regulate the nervous system, and draw from EFT, IFS, Narrative Therapy, and the Gottman Method to explore relational patterns. We'll collaborate on approaches that support meaningful change. In therapy, you'll learn ways to self-soothe, stay grounded, and better understand your emotional and physical experiences.
