You can be capable, accomplished, and still feel emotionally exhausted.
I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but carrying anxiety, relationship stress, emotional overload, or burnout beneath the surface. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or partners who are used to being strong and dependable often for everyone else while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves.
My work focuses on helping individuals and couples understand patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and build healthier boundaries without shame or pressure to “fix” themselves. Therapy with me is thoughtful.

Call for an appointment if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness, surgery preparation, prenatal or postpartum depression, relationship challenges, stress management, life skills, life transitions, insomnia, or want to create a healthier lifestyle. I blend Eastern philosophy with Western psychology in my holistic practice. If you have tried traditional therapy and have not found relief, I'd love the opportunity to help you become the best version of yourself. I regret to inform potential clients that I have been and continue to be on medical leave. I will update you when I can practice again. Thanks

Summer time vibes. Someitmes the Summer brings out the best in us, and other times the worst. Imagine finding a dope therapist, that has the support of other dope therapists supporting them as they are supporting you. Me, myself, persoanlly, I believe goodness of fit reigns supreme. I mean, how many unrelatable messengers have a great message that we miss due to the packaging? Finding a good therapist is like finding a good hair stylist or barber. Not everyone is a good fit so shopping around is important.

You’re an adult or young adult who looks like you’ve got it all together—but inside, it’s a different story. You’re doing your best to hold it all together, but anxiety keeps getting in the way—of school, friendships, sleep, or just feeling like yourself. You might be constantly second-guessing your decisions, stuck in overthinking, or feeling like you’re not measuring up. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

You’re always exhausted. The alarm clock buzzes, and you struggle to open your eyes. The blanket feels like it’s made of lead as you attempt to get out of bed. It’s the same every morning, and things only worsen from there. You sleepwalk through each day in a thick, hazy fog. You’re not fully present, but you go through the motions because you’re supposed to. It’s getting difficult to remember a time when you actually felt good, and you can’t imagine ever feeling happy again. You've tried fixing your problems, but no solution lasts for long. You know that something needs to change, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless!

Emotionally Focused Therapists
Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
