I work with both individuals and couples who are longing for deeper connection, healing, and understanding. Relationships can be hard, especially when old hurts or well-worn patterns keep showing up. If you and your partner find yourselves stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, misunderstanding, or sexual concerns, you’re not alone. Often, partners bring different attachment styles into a relationship. One may lean in, pushing for closeness, resolution, or reassurance, while the other pulls away, hoping to calm things down or avoid making it worse. Over time, this cycle impacts other parts of your relationship, including sex.
My role is to help you slow this cycle down, tune into what you really need, and begin sharing your inner world in a way that feels safe, clear, and connecting. Step by step, we’ll build a bridge between your different ways of being in the world and create a new shared language where both of you can feel heard, seen, and supported.
For individuals, I help you explore how past and present relationships have shaped you - the early messages you received about love, worth, and security, and how these experiences show up now. We’ll make sense of your attachment strategies, process their origins, and explore how to create relationships that feel more nourishing, secure, and true to you.
