When you’ve been carrying stress, trauma, or relationship pain for a long time, simply “talking it through” can start to feel frustrating and exhausting. I help individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected find relief by working with both emotions and the nervous system—not just thoughts. My goal is to help you feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected in your relationships. Therapy with me is supportive, compassionate, and paced to help real change feel possible.
I help couples and individuals move out of painful cycles that lead to misunderstanding and emotional distance. Using an Emotionally Focused model, we explore what’s happening beneath conflict and build new ways to reconnect. Sessions are interactive, and you’ll leave with tools to resist old patterns and create more closeness at home.
If you’re exhausted from holding it all together and are ready to feel grounded, safe, and connected again, please reach out. You don’t have to do this alone. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to support you on that journey.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples connect by fostering emotional awareness and promoting open communication, allowing partners to understand and respond to each other's needs more effectively. This process strengthens their emotional bond, enhances trust, and encourages vulnerability, leading to deeper intimacy and a more resilient relationship.

I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help clients process trauma, deepen self-awareness, and foster healing. EMDR targets distressing memories to reduce emotional intensity, while IFS helps clients connect with and understand their inner parts, promoting self-leadership, emotional balance, and lasting change.
