Do you feel stuck? Are you trapped in the same old fight, over and over? This is where I come in. As an LMFT specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples make sense of BIG feelings and stop relationship spirals in their tracks. This repetitive conflict isn't evidence that you are incompatible. In fact, it means your relationship is trying to grow, and you need the guidance to transition into your next evolution. Alone, it can feel so frustrating and heartbreaking. I help you decode the cycle, uncover the emotions underneath, and transform stuckness into deep connectedness.
I use EFT (emotionally focused therapy), an evidence-based approach with a 90% success rate in not only preserving relationships, but helping couples and individuals thrive in relationships. I am experienced in treating individuals and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, complex PTSD, complicated grief/loss, and identity-searching.
In our sessions, you will find me to be warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I practice a client-centered, humanistic approach, meaning I bring my authentic self into the room to meet you exactly where you are. Together, we will use your emotional system as a compass to navigate struggles, break old patterns and understand your story deeply.
