You’re not alone if you’re wondering, “Can we come back from this?” Whether you’re facing the aftermath of betrayal, emotional disconnection, or years of resentment, your relationship may feel like it’s hanging on by a thread. As a couples therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy, I help partners move out of painful patterns and into deeper, safer connection. EFT is a powerful, research-backed model that helps couples uncover the raw spots beneath their conflict and find new ways of reaching each other. Healing is possible, even after betrayal, when both partners are willing to show up and engage in the process.

Our lives are filled with joys, accomplishments, struggles, and sorrows. From many we derive happiness, but others leave us feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck and in need of clarity or a different direction.I understand that seeking counseling can sometimes be difficult or scary and believe that asking for help is a great expression of strength. My goal is to create a comfortable environment in which you may share your story and my approach is collaborative; working with you to identify your needs, the issues you want to address, and the goals that you want to achieve while in therapy.

I strongly believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship to first identify my clients natural strengths and then apply additional tools in order to meet each individualized goal. My areas of work include, but are not limited to, those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, career transitions, self-care, domestic violence, communication issues, parenting support, low self-esteem, and trauma work. The primary theory I will utilize is based on the needs of the person, couple, or family while also taking into consideration the type of issue and goal.

Reconnection to safety, joy and resiliency is possible. I believe mending & growth happens through understanding our sensory and boundary needs, identifying the parts and systems limiting embodiment and integration, and learning about resources that help move us through what feels hard & stuck. I practice with a compassionate and affirming approach, collaborate with my clients on their healing intentions and needs, and offer a gentle, exploratory container to safely sense, feel and heal. If you’ve ever felt that talk-therapy wasn’t enough, you might find that my somatic practices and ecotherapy offerings are a better fit for you.

I work with individual adult/child clients and couples who are facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, trauma, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, and challenges at work or in relationships. I have counseled adults, couples, and groups in community-based and school-based mental health, as well as private practice. I have also conducted in-depth research on trauma, hopelessness, empathy, attachment, and intimacy. Above all, I believe that my clients, not I, hold the key to their growth and that emotional pain and anxiety, when given respect and non-judgmental attention, can often provide some of the best opportunities for learning.
