You want connection and peace, but something keeps getting in the way. Whether you’re in a relationship or on your own, you may feel stuck in cycles of miscommunication, distance, or conflict. You might also struggle with anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, or fear that make closeness hard. I work well with couples, stuck individuals, and people ready for change. Together, we’ll uncover what’s underneath these patterns so you can feel grounded, communicate clearly, and build relationships that feel secure and alive.
I integrate Imago Relationship Therapy, the Developmental Model, Gestalt, somatic, and Emotional-Imagery Therapy approaches to support lasting change. My work blends structure with depth—using dialogue, body awareness, and symbolic imagery to reveal what’s beneath recurring patterns.
I take an active, engaged approach—this isn’t just about talking; it’s about real change. I offer structure, feedback, and practical tools you can use between sessions to keep growing. Our work blends insight with action so you can move from awareness to transformation. If you’re ready to feel more connected, grounded, and emotionally clear.
