As a relational therapist, I believe healing happens in connection, including the connection we build in therapy as therapist and client. Together, we cultivate a supportive and collaborative space to explore how your relationships shape the way you see yourself and move through the world. Our work provides a steady foundation for slowing down, reflecting, and experimenting with new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I work with individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, emotional disconnection, and relational distress. Our work together goes beyond symptom relief to support deeper self-understanding and more fulfilling, connected relationships.
My style is warm, curious, and collaborative. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based approaches, but we tailor our work together to your distinctive goals. I would love to walk alongside you as you take the courageous steps forward toward healing and growth!
