My website

I am passionate about what I do, and I love being able to hear, see, and understand people. I am an attachment focused therapist specializing in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). The type of therapy I offer utilizes relentless empathy and aims at getting to the heart of the matter; making sense of and understanding the deeper emotional motivations underlying our surface behaviors, exploring and expanding on unseen and unspoken emotions. I aim to help build courage for sharing these hidden emotions and express unmet needs, while breathing compassion into the hurt space within us, while also making a conscious effort to take new steps.

While I am heavily rooted in attachment theory and EFT, I also have specialized training in other approaches such as Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy, Gottman Emotion Coaching Parenting, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), while always maintaining a person centered approach.

I love what I do and feel it is an honor to walk alongside my clients; to help them connect to their most authentic selves, step into vulnerability, nurture their inner children, grow self love and compassion, find inner security and confidence, and foster deep, meaningful, long-lasting connections in the relationships that matter the most to them.

Research shows that the most influential factor in successful therapy is the relationship the client has with their therapist. That's why I love to use use a person centered, compassion & connection focused counseling approach. This approach nurtures the safest, strongest, and most secure relationship; an essential environment for feelings to be felt & expressed, and insight & skills to be built.
