About

Something feels off, even if life looks fine on the outside. Deep down, you feel disconnected, stuck, or like you’re just going through the motions. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns in your relationships — pulling away and distancing yourself when things get hard, or reaching for closeness only to feel rejected or like something is wrong with you. These patterns can show up not only within ourselves, but between partners. You may be coming in as a couple, feeling worlds apart from someone you used to feel so close to. But beneath that, you long to feel connected again — to be seen, heard, and valued in your relationship. I work with individuals & couples using a relational approach grounded in attachment theory. I'm a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and use EFT to help couples rebuild trust and connection. With individuals, I integrate Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), EMDR, and somatic approaches to support healing and emotional resilience.
