I help couples and individuals break free from painful cycles of disconnection and conflict. Together, we'll uncover the hidden patterns keeping you stuck, moving beyond resentment toward genuine understanding and healing. We'll explore how your protective strategies once helped you, but may now create distance. Through interactive sessions, processing emotions, and building insight, you'll develop ways of relating that foster secure connection—with others, yourself, and/or partners. Whether strengthening your relationship or finding clarity about your path forward, you'll experience lasting personal growth and transformation.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals using Internal Family Systems (IFS & IFIO) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to heal past trauma and transform patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we'll address old wounds and create healthier relationship dynamics.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck, I am here to help you on your journey towards healing and growth. Together we can begin to understand and heal your experiences so that you can navigate your life from a place of choice.
