About

Humans are wired to connect, and nothing is scarier than feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood by those closest to us. Perhaps you’re suffering in this way. Maybe you’re struggling to communicate with your partner. One of you is overwhelmed by conflict and shuts down while the other gets bigger and louder, desperate to be heard. Maybe you’re guarded, more comfortable in logic than emotion. Or you’re a sensitive soul who's been called “too much”. If any of this describes you, I can help. Honoring your differences and celebrating your unique strengths, I will work hard to bridge disconnection with acceptance and empathy. As an attachment-informed, Emotionally Focused Therapist, I will help you identify the interpersonal patterns you find yourself in and the painful emotions driving them. Together, we will address the obstacles, wounds, and stuck points that keep you from feeling connected.
