My clients feel overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma, ongoing stress, or burnout from their personal or professional life. They may have tried to cope on their own, but they now realize they need support in processing their experiences and finding sustainable ways to manage their well-being. The couples that I see are navigating the complexities of intercultural relationships, significant life changes, or those who are seeking to repair their bond and rebuild trust. They might be struggling with communication barriers, conflicting values, or unresolved hurts that have created distance and misunderstanding.

I'm certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), helping partners understand hidden emotions, develop secure bonds, and communicate effectively. I also use Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to heal trauma, along with mindfulness techniques to help you stay present and connected during our sessions.

My clients are motivated by the hope of living a more fulfilled and connected life, either within themselves or within their relationships. They are ready to invest in their growth, explore new perspectives, and embrace the changes needed to achieve their goals. You don't have to go through this alone. let's start your journey toward healing and connection.

I work from a mindfulness perspective so we can work on practical things to help you stay balanced and focused in the present. We will also look at how you form relationships with people from both your past and present or your attachment style to see how that may be impacting you as well.
