Who Am I
I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm. I offer a warm, collaborative space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward more authentic, connected ways of living and relating.
More About Me
My work is grounded in a deep interest in relationships, identity, and the emotional patterns that shape how we connect with ourselves and others. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware — yet still find themselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or caught in repeating relational cycles.
My approach is relational, attachment-informed, and experiential. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Satir Model of transformational growth to help clients understand their emotional worlds, clarify their needs, and shift patterns that no longer serve them. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes or pushing yourself to feel differently — it’s about creating safety to explore what’s actually happening inside, and allowing meaningful change to emerge from there.
I work with individuals navigating relationship rupture, identity transitions, workplace or life disruptions, and fears around rejection or uncertainty. I also support couples who want to reconnect, communicate more honestly, and understand the deeper emotional dynamics driving conflict or distance.
Above all, I value therapy as a human, collaborative process. I bring curiosity, warmth, and respect for your pace, trusting that with the right support, clarity and change become possible.
