You’re a high-achiever, yet on the inside you feel overwhelmed and disconnected. When it comes to emotions or relationships, it feels like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle. Maybe communication feels hard- you feel distant from your partner, or even from yourself. I love helping individuals and couples who feel “stuck in their heads” experience what it feels like to reconnect: with themselves, their emotions, and the people they care about.
Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, I believe that we heal what we learn to feel. I also believe that we are wired for connection, and that lasting change happens within safe, attuned relationships- starting with the relationship with your therapist.
If you feel ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you. I’m in session most of the day, so the easiest way to reach me is by email. You can expect a response within 48 business hours.

I often work with clients who feel stuck in patterns that leave them disconnected: from themselves, and from the people they care about most. Together we'll uncover these patterns and begin to shift them, not just through insight, but through meaningful, in-the-moment experiences that foster greater security, connection, and a sense of true belonging.
