My ideal client is exploring change and considering what it may look like. Whether that is change in their relationships, lifestyle, career, family life, social life, etc... They recognize that a change needs to happen. Their goal is to decrease stress from the current behavior that continues to go on and they desire to find a different way to deal with issues that come up in life. They know what needs to change and the thought of doing something different is scary and overwhelming.

Using Deep Brain Reorienting, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices from my yoga training, I guide clients toward feeling calmer, more connected, and resilient.
Do you find yourself striving for perfection, yet it never feels like enough? Do you struggle to express what you truly want or need—or even feel unsure of what those are? Are you feeling drained by your career or the stresses of daily life, and unsure how to feel like yourself again? These struggles are common, but they don’t have to define your life. Together, we can work toward clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of self. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and caregivers who give so much to others learn how to reconnect with themselves, set healthy boundaries, and find fulfillment without burning out.

You've spent decades showing up for everyone else. And now — somewhere in your 30s, 40s, or 50s — something has shifted. Your sleep is fractured. Emotions feel out of sync. Your focus slips in ways that scare you. Your sense of self feels blurry.
No one prepared you for this. Maybe doctors have told you it's "just stress" or "just aging." But what you're experiencing has a neurological explanation. Perimenopause and menopause change your brain, not just your body. That's not weakness. That's biology meeting an unsupported life transition.

First, I want to thank you for being here. The first step is, as we say in the therapy world, the hardest, and by giving yourself that ounce of opportunity you unknowingly have already started your healing journey. Whether you are here because of past trauma, current life circumstances, or attempting to navigate the day to day, know you found the space to create the life you want to live.
It is my goal to make therapy a little less intimidating, as we know life is hard on its own. Instead, this is a journey to overcome, manage, and most importantly empower yourself to know you are no longer a victim to what you have lived.

When life feels heavy or unclear, it can be hard to know where to begin. Many people I work with carry quiet overwhelm, old wounds, or patterns that leave them feeling dimmed or disconnected. Therapy becomes a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the parts of you that still glow beneath the chaos. My role is to offer a steady, warm space where you can sort through what’s happening with honesty, compassion, and a pace that actually feels manageable.

With couples, I add Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy to strengthen connection and understanding.
Feeling stuck despite insight? Let’s work with what’s actually blocking change.
I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand their patterns but still feel stuck, or who sense there is something deeper going on but are not sure how to access it yet. On the outside, things may look stable. Internally, something feels off. Patterns repeat, change does not stick, and relief feels out of reach. I help you understand and work through the deeper emotional patterns driving these cycles so you can experience more clarity, freedom, and meaningful change.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, trying to make sense of painful past experiences, or seeking new ways to cope with life stressors. Anxiety or depression may be making it hard to feel like yourself. You might be navigating a major life transition, exploring your identity, or simply longing for a space where you can be understood without judgment. If you can relate, this might be the space for you.

My clients are adults who look fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. They're navigating trauma, burnout, identity stress, relationship strain, or major life transitions — and they're ready for real change, not just coping. I also work with teens 13+ facing anxiety, self-worth, and life changes. Together, we build grounding first, then explore the patterns and experiences keeping them stuck. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, we work toward clarity, stability, and feeling like themselves again.

It is time for you to spread your wings and fly.

Are you having difficulty adjusting to a “new normal” after cancer, chronic illness or menopause? Do you feel stuck in anxiety, fear, uncertainty, or feel disconnected with yourself or others? Are you weighed down by a sense of loss related to the changes that can come with these life events? Maybe your sense of confidence and sexuality have been replaced with feelings of hesitancy and intimacy concerns. These life transitions can leave you feeling like you don’t recognize your own life anymore and no one gets it. You want to feel positive, but deep down you are struggling to cope - and you’re ready to feel more like yourself again.

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.
