I use evidence- based models like Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems.
I specialize in working with couples, adults, and queer / LGBTQ+ folks navigating identity exploration, trauma, and anxiety. In couples therapy, I help you map the recurring patterns that shape your relationship: maybe you feel responsible for your partner's emotions, like you've lost touch with your own needs, or that you struggle to separate your sense of identity from the relationship. Together, we will explore the protective parts, attachment needs, and stories beneath these patterns, bringing compassion to the roles that you have each learned to play.

To the outside world, you're seen as a pretty together person who's hard-working, accomplished and self-sufficient. When life get's tough, you buck up, soldier on, & "never let 'em see you bleed." You bottle up your pain and keep a tight lid on it. But, behind this exterior, you're actually hanging on by your fingertips. The stress on your shoulders is unbearably heavy & you're overwhelmed, stressed-out, and you feel like you're drowning under the pressure of it all. You're pain is silent, but your suffering is real and it's taking a toll on your health, productivity and your relationships with others.

I work with people who look like they're functioning on the outside but internally feel off, disconnected, or like the life they built doesn't quite fit anymore.
The struggle will be specific to you. I often work with people struggling with ADHD, overthinking, burnout, or patterns around control with work, food, or relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but insight alone hasn't led to lasting change. I work with adults and adolescents who want to feel more focused, connected, and at ease in their lives, bodies, and relationships.

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.
