Great to meet you!

I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, struggle with trust, fear abandonment, or find themselves repeating the same conflicts. Many clients also experience anxiety or unresolved trauma that affects how they see themselves and connect with others.

Together, we explore how past experiences may be shaping current struggles and develop healthier, more secure ways of relating to yourself and others. Using a warm, collaborative approach and evidence-based treatments including EMDR, I help clients process painful experiences, build self-awareness, and create lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I help adults and couples break stuck relationship patterns tied to anxiety, attachment wounds, and past experiences. Clients often struggle with trust, conflict, or emotional disconnection. I offer a warm, direct, collaborative approach focused on creating healthier, more secure relationships. EMDR is used when appropriate.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll explore not only the challenges that brought you to therapy, but also the relationships, experiences, and patterns that may be influencing how you're feeling today. I take a collaborative and trauma-informed approach, which means we'll work together to understand your story rather than simply focusing on symptoms. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, or feeling stuck, our first session is the beginning of building a path forward that fits your unique situation.
