Do you find yourself in the same fight over and over again no matter how hard you try to get out of it? Are you feeling misunderstood by your partner, despite endless attempts of trying to communicate? Do you feel like your partner doesn't appreciate you, even when you feel like you're doing everything you can? You aren't alone and I can help.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy & Supervisor. I integrate empirically validated therapeutic approaches such as EFT & Internal Family Systems to support an individual in understanding themselves, and each other, more deeply. This creates a path for healing old wounds, more clear communication in relationships & overall satisfaction.

During therapy, you will develop a deeper understanding of how & why you react the way you do during arguments, & how those reactions impact the relationship. You’ll develop new ways to cope with painful moments & learn how to share them with your partner so you can move through the conflict together. This understanding allows your relationship to deepen.
