Great to meet you!

As an LMFT, I help adults explore the deeper layers of their emotional life — the stories, defenses, and relational patterns that shape how they move through the world. My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and trauma‐informed, grounded in the belief that healing happens through understanding and connection. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. My work is especially suited for individuals seeking meaningful, long‐term growth rather than quick fixes.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and the lasting impact of past experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, integrating EMDR, attachment-based, and insight-oriented therapy. I offer a supportive, collaborative space to explore patterns, process experiences, and build a more secure sense of self, helping clients move toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a sense of comfort and trust. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your current challenges, and any relevant background. I’ll ask some guiding questions, but there’s no pressure to share everything at once—we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
