I'm glad you are here. This is a big deal. Whether you seek therapy individually or as part of a couple, the way you relate to yourself, your world, and your people are pivotal to understanding your mental health. I'm committed to supporting couples and individuals at all levels of development who seek a supportive environment in their pursuit of growth and healing. Together, we will explore your present and past to discover your strengths, while making space for the pain and distress you are carrying. Together, we will understand your partner and relationships in a new way and rediscover your capacity to find solutions on your own
We will strengthen your emotional bonds, make connections, and bring awareness of the WHY behind patterns that can feel confusing and out of control. I will provide the support and skills to help you move forward. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, depressed or anxious, or you’re caught in old, unwanted patterns, I can promise authenticity.
I work with couples using an evidence-based model called Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT emphasizes human attachment as a pivotal factor in understanding how adult partners relate to one another. Research on couples who receive EFT therapy shows that 70-75% move from distress to recovery, while 90% show significant improvement.
