I work with people who feel stuck. Folks who are overwhelmed by shame, anger, anxiety, or afraid that being truly known might confirm their worst suspicions about themselves. And here's what I know: there's courage and freedom waiting on the other side of the things we're most afraid of. Whether you're coming in alone or as a couple, the path to deeper connection runs straight through the mess, not around it. We'll work together to untangle what's keeping you stuck, figure out what you actually want, and start working toward it.
I use a lot of different approaches like narrative and psychodynamic therapy, attachment interventions, IFS, and am EMDR trained to process old wounds that keep coming up. With couples, I use Gottman Method to help you rebuild trust and create a relationship where both people feel seen. My style is collaborative, empathetic, and direct.
We'll ask hard questions and we'll also hopefully laugh. It's good to do both in therapy. Book a 20 minute consultation to get a sense of what therapy could be like and if you're ready to make the next (and hardest) step. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
