I am passionate about guiding clients toward deeper connections and personal healing. My practice centers around using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples. I believe in the transformative power of fostering secure emotional bonds, helping partners rediscover trust and intimacy, and assisting couples in learning how to understand and respond to each other in meaningful ways. Through EFT, I work to create a safe space where couples can navigate conflicts, heal past wounds, and build lasting, resilient relationships. I have experience working with military couples afflicted by deployments/separation.
In addition to my work with couples, I use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful modality for individuals seeking to process and overcome trauma. I am committed to helping my clients move through their pain and limiting beliefs, empowering them to achieve personal growth and emotional well-being.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet each client's unique journey. I feel honored to witness clients rediscover hope, rebuild trust, and strengthen their inner resilience as they move toward a more fulfilling life.
