Have you ever wondered why, despite your best efforts, you keep finding yourself in the same painful place? My clients often tell me they appreciate that I don't settle for quick answers or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every person is different, and I believe therapy should reflect that. Together, we'll work to understand your unique situation and develop practical, personalized strategies that help you move toward the life and relationships you want.
I specialize in couples therapy and emotional health. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most effective and well-researched approaches for helping couples strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and rebuild trust. I also draw on these same principles when helping individuals.
For clients who wish to include spirituality as part of the therapeutic process, I welcome those conversations. I enjoy exploring how psychological principles and deeply held values can work together to promote healing, resilience, and personal growth. My goal is to help you not only feel better, but also better understand yourself to promote change.
