I help couples and individuals who struggle to connect with others and with themselves. As relational beings, we all long to feel seen, accepted, and that we matter. It can be so painful when you live with infidelity, repeated conflicts, misunderstandings and disconnection. While hurt happens in relationships, healing can also take place within them. I offer a safe and thoughtful space to gently peel back the layers of complex circumstances and slow down the moments when conversations begin to derail. Together, we uncover the underlying needs and longings, and collaborate to respond with greater awareness, compassion, and intention.
In our work together, I balance structure with openness, and gentleness with directness. At times, sessions are focused and skill-based, drawing from the Gottman Method. At other times, we slow down to understand emotional experiences as they unfold, guided by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). For individuals, I also incorporate EMDR to reprocess trauma.
Change begins with understanding and safety. Give me a call to see if I may be a good fit to help you find a renewed sense of connection, both with yourself and with others.
