My foundation integrates CBT for thought patterns, EFT for emotional processing, and person-centered therapy to honor your autonomy.
As a therapist deeply rooted in serving the BIPOC community, my work is more than a practice—it’s a calling. I honor the stories, struggles, and strengths that make you who you are, blending cultural wisdom with clinical care to create authentic and transformative healing.
This isn’t just about “fixing” problems; it’s about reclaiming your narrative. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, or the weight of generational traumas, we’ll collaborate to cultivate resilience, self-love, and unshakable grounding in your worth.

I practice a strongly research-based method of couples therapy called EFT - Emotionally Focused Therapy, which according to the American Psychological Association has roughly 75 percent effectiveness in improving relationship satisfaction.
If you are a couple seeking a well-rounded and professional therapist to guide you toward growth and change, I may be the therapist for you. At this moment you may be dealing with difficulties in your life and your relationship and feeling overwhelmed. I can help you find surprising opportunities in the midst of dissatisfaction, loss, crisis, or chaos. You may discover in therapy that those can be signs that life is just asking you to try something different.

My specialized training and experience in Emotionally-Focused Therapy ( EFT) provides an experiential approach in working with couples-- one that builds strong and enduring emotional connection.
Do you feel disconnected from your spouse-- perpetually trying "reach" him or her, but angry, sad or frustrated at your inability to connect? Or perhaps you find yourself distancing from your marriage partner, avoiding conflict in order to feel safe, only to find yourself "walking on eggshells." You feel the pain of disconnection with the person you love, and you feel stuck; maybe it even feels hopeless at times. If only you could re-discover the bond that somehow still exists beneath the rubble of fighting, avoiding and blaming. Or, possibly your struggles are more individual than relational?

Through techniques like Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and Family Systems, I help clients gain insight into themselves and experience more fulfilling, meaningful relationships.
You may be struggling with past relationship wounds, family dynamics that still impact you, or feeling like something keeps holding you back from truly connecting with others. Perhaps you’re navigating a big life transition—starting a new relationship, becoming a parent, or facing the end of one chapter—and want to feel more at peace, seen, and valued. You’re seeking a space where you can heal, explore your identity, and build healthier, fulfilling relationships without giving up your dreams or goals. You’re ready to understand yourself more deeply and find a balance between being true to yourself and nurturing your connections.

I am a certified emotionally focused couples therapist and have undergone rigorous training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, an empirically validated form of couples therapy.
Are you wanting to save your relationship? Do you often argue about the same issues? Do you desire the closeness you once had, but don't know how to reconnect? Being in a relationship is difficult work, and we all experience times when our relationship ideal is not our reality. The good news is that you can get back those warm feelings that drew you together in the beginning. I can help you make sense of the struggles, and explore conflict in a way that brings clarity, understanding and intimacy back in to your relationship. I also have received specialized training to help couples experiencing betrayal and infidelity.

Additionally, I work with couples using EFT couples intervention to address unhelpful relationship patterns and self-perpetuating cycles of conflict or distress.
I love making space for … Those of us who can’t seem to turn off those anxious thoughts or feel overwhelmed by the seemingly never ending what ifs. Those of us who feel lost and confused about who we are, what we believe, or how to love ourselves. The one who has experienced pain, hurt, or trauma and doesn’t know what to do next to experience some relief.

In relationship and sex therapy, I use EFT & RCT to co-create a space for partner(s) to come together and work on challenges.
Reaching out to a therapist is hard. So first, take a moment to commend yourself for prioritizing your wellbeing - it is difficult, even for me as a therapist! I believe that we all have a desire for genuine relational connection. However, our past experiences (eg. oppression, trauma, relational disconnections) inform our strategies of survival (eg. perfectionism, addiction, avoidance), which paradoxically leave us feeling dysregulated, isolated, or stuck in painful relationships. I see therapy as a space where you and I can co-create an open & authentic relationship, which will help us explore and heal your current life stressors.

I'm primarily an Emotionally Focused Therapy therapist, which means we'll collaboratively focus on your primary attachment relationships, including how you learned to manage closeness and distance, safety and danger with them.
Turn your never-ending pattern of defeat with your partner into an ever-growing source of enrichment. You may feel unwanted, unvalued, rejected or unsafe in a relationship that used to be marked by love and intimacy. Despite your best efforts, every interaction ends in a damaging fight or excruciating loneliness. These are predictable experiences to problems that have a highly effective solution.

I use an attachment-based lens, emotionally focusing on the process of how you connect to yourself, to your loved ones, and to the world ( EFT).
If you are looking for a listener because you need to talk to about: conflict in your marriage, unbearable family relationships, step parenting challenges, frustration with ADHD - yours or someone else's, scary new life transitions, healing from a traumatic event or relationship, or a constant nagging sadness or anxiousness that just won't go away, then we should talk!

Not accepting new clients as I transition into maternity leave through January 2025. Shutting off the "inner critic" can often feel impossible. As such, most of the adults I treat struggle with negative beliefs about themselves in addition to anxiety/depression, body dysmorphia/low self-esteem, heartbreak/relationship problems or early attachment wounds/relational trauma. Supporting college students and young professionals who are navigating adulthood and the myriad of personal and professional challenges that can arise during this time is a passion of mine. I also enjoy supporting perfectionists and high-achieving individuals.
