My approach is an eclectic one from Integrative Sex and Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Work, Sex, Desire & Attachment , Gottman and Ego State Therapies.
My clients are couples or families who deeply want to feel more connected—but something just isn’t working. They’re stuck in cycles of misunderstanding, distance, and tension. Arguments repeat with no resolution. Emotional needs are going unmet, and they’re unsure how to fix it. I know that life can be complicated, and it does not come with a manual. My goal is to work with clients to face and navigate their life so that they can gain perspective and grow. My love is working with clients so they can move through this world in such a way that they can be strong mentally and in healthy families and relationships

I approach clients as uniquely beautiful and gifted and work to assist clients in overcoming barriers that prevent them from embracing their innate strengths. I affirm all gender identities, religions, disabilities, ethnicities, and cultures and encourage clients to find healing within each aspect of their person. Life can be exhilarating and shattering, pleasant and painful, beautiful and horrific. All emotions tell us something about ourselves and our circumstances. All emotions are good and should be handled with care, because they are the forces that lead us to ourselves.

People are inherently resilient but often feel blocked and discouraged from healing. Discerning how we can be our best selves requires the support of another person who will listen and support us on the journey to discovering our authentic selves. As a result of my own journey, I have learned the keys to healing-willingness, rigorous honesty with self and others, grace, compassion, and unconditional positive regard-are fundamental in the desired transformation. Regardless of the issues, your story matters and there is hope for healing.

Authentic interaction, compassion, and curiosity are central to my work as a relational and experiential therapist. I believe that human development, personality, and mental health are primarily shaped by where we come from: interpersonal relationships (namely our earliest attachments) and the culture and social values that shape our lives. Building more secure connections with others is required to break repetitive cycles in life and to heal from trauma. Therapy can be that secure base. I prioritize a whole-person approach: thoughts, emotions, body awareness, breath, nervous system, choices. We are all of this.

I draw from several modalities of therapy, particularly Emotionally Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy.
Life often presents us with difficult choices and challenges that leave us feeling stressed, drained, and disconnected. In response, we may withdraw, suppress parts of ourselves, and move further away from our values and goals. While these responses are natural, they can create tension in our relationships, work, and emotional lives. I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, challenges in relationship, or feeling stuck, I offer a compassionate, affirming space to explore your struggles and strengths.

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.
