Are you seeking change within yourself or in relationships? Many of us desire and intend to make changes and yet find ourselves in the same cycle over and over and over, increasingly disconnected from self and others. I work with individuals, couples, and families from a culturally-informed, attachment-focused perspective. Healing isn't a destination; together, we will cultivate capacity to know yourself more fully and be held as you do the hard, ongoing work of learning to love and repair trust with self and others. I work with folks in interracial family systems, blended families, and those with histories of interpersonal trauma.
I am certified in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and focus on helping couples strengthen their bond in order to be more equipped to navigate the ongoing challenges of life. I am also certified in EMDR and use somatic tools to help folks restore a felt sense of safety in the body after experiences of acute and chronic trauma.
Beyond having the "right" credentials for doing this work, I'm also a human on this journey. There is much gratitude and humility for me in being able to partner with each one of you. When we heal ourselves, we give that gift not only to ourselves but also to those we love. I would love to see if this therapeutic relationship is a fit for your journey.

In relationship therapy, I work with couples who are dealing with the impact of chronic disconnection (emotionally, sexually and more) and are ready to gain insight and change patterns of engaging with one another. We will complete a thorough assessment process including a relationship/attachment history and explore the emotions at the root of the disconnection in order to forge a new path.
