I offer therapy for individuals and couples who feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns—even when, on the outside, life looks “together.” My work is especially suited to people navigating: Relationship distress, betrayal, or loss of trust Emotional dysregulation, anxiety, or shame The impact of trauma, attachment wounds, or early relational experiences Identity confusion, low self-worth, or chronic self-doubt High responsibility roles that leave you emotionally depleted I work relationally and somatically, helping you understand not just what you feel, but why your nervous system responds the way it does—and how to gently change those patterns. Sessions are practical, emotionally attuned, and grounded in attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches. For couples, I support partners in rebuilding safety, honesty, and emotional connection, particularly after breaches of trust or long-standing disconnection. We focus on slowing things down, understanding reactive cycles, and creating the conditions for secure, meaningful intimacy. My style is warm, direct, and compassionate. I won’t rush you or pathologize your responses- many of your struggles once served a purpose. Together, we work toward greater emotional stability, clearer boundaries, deeper self-trust, and more fulfilling relationships. Therapy with me is a space to think clearly, feel safely, and move forward with integrity.
