With over 15 years of experience, I help adults work through trauma, attachment wounds, and recurring relationship patterns. My approach is engaged, thoughtful, and collaborative. I use EMDR to address deep trauma, cognitive theory to identify and shift patterns, psychodynamic and relational work to explore relationships and attachment, interpersonal neurobiology to connect mind and body, and parts work (EST) to support internal growth. I support clients navigating modern dating and relationship uncertainty, recognizing that dating culture can feel confusing, disheartening, or even toxic.
I am an intersectional practitioner whose work with singles focuses on discernment, alternatives to romantic relationships, community-building, strengths-based singlehood, reframing sociopolitical narratives, and addressing the financial disadvantages of being single. My approach is contemporary, progressive, and deeply affirming.
Together, we explore patterns, heal relational wounds, and work toward choices aligned with your values — without placing blame on you for the challenges you face. I also work with individuals processing grief or anxiety related to delayed or uncertain parenthood.
