Most people don’t come to therapy because they “have anxiety.” They come because something in their life feels stuck — and often, that place is their relationships, work, life, and self identity. I specialize in relationship-focused therapy for individuals navigating conflict, emotional distance, repeated communication breakdowns, or uncertainty about the future of their partnership. Sometimes a partner is unwilling to attend therapy. Sometimes you are unsure whether the relationship can improve. My work helps you gain clarity, emotional stability, and direction — even if your partner is not in the room. I take a structured and direct approach. I do not simply validate feelings or revisit the same arguments. We identify the interaction patterns driving the distress, clarify attachment dynamics, and strengthen your ability to respond differently within your relationships. As emotional regulation improves, conflict becomes more predictable and less destabilizing. Many individuals I work with initially present with anxiety, stress, or frustration, and then we discover that the root issues lie within relational patterns, self identity, career stress, and deep rooted patterns formed in early life, that have never been clearly understood. When those patterns become visible, decision-making becomes more grounded and less reactive. If you are motivated to understand what is happening in your life, your relationships, and the patterns beneath repeated conflict, anxiety, and repeated cycles, and want a focused, intentional process, we may be a strong fit.

I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel both supported and actively engaged in the process. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you better understand yourself while also building practical skills you can use in your daily life. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or unsure how to move forward—especially in relationships or after difficult past experiences. In our work together, we’ll focus on increasing awareness of those patterns, strengthening your ability to respond rather than react, and developing tools that help you feel more steady and in control. My work is holistic and integrates mind and body. In addition to my clinical training, I have a background as a yoga teacher and Zumba instructor, which allows me to incorporate elements of mindfulness, movement, and nervous system regulation into our work when it’s helpful. This can support you in not just understanding what’s going on, but actually shifting how you experience stress, emotions, and day-to-day challenges. Clients often begin to notice more clarity, improved emotional balance, and greater confidence in how they navigate relationships, stress, and life transitions. Over time, the goal is to help you build a set of tools and a deeper understanding of yourself so that you can create changes that feel sustainable and aligned with what matters most to you. If you’re looking for a space that is supportive but also focused on growth, skill-building, and meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

With advanced training in Emotion Focused Therapy and Somatic and Attachment EMDR, along with therapeutic approaches rooted in attachment theory, I offer a person-centered treatment experience that recognizes each individual’s unique story. Together, we’ll create a space where your challenges are honored and your strengths are empowered, supporting you on every step of your journey. My practice is shaped not only by formal expertise, but also by real-world experience and a commitment to meeting you where you are. I believe that healing and growth happen through genuine connection, compassionate understanding, and practical wisdom. I use emotion-focused therapy (EFT) to help focus on our emotions and how they influence our thoughts, actions, and relationships. Additionally if appropriate I offer EMDR therapy. Your goals and progress are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. Our first session is used to get to know each other and to explain how therapy works within the EFT model. Expectations from both you, as the client, and me, as the therapist, are created and laid out. This is a common time to be nervous, but just know that if I am not the right fit for you, I will help you find someone who is.
