About

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling flooded, disconnected, or overwhelmed by their emotions. They often wonder why they can’t find lasting relief, or why relationships feel so hard to maintain. It can seem as though no amount of support or connection is enough—or that what’s available can’t be trusted or understood. Often, these struggles are rooted in childhood trauma, attachment wounds, or patterns learned early in life. Together, we’ll explore how these experiences shaped your relationships, self-esteem, and emotional regulation—and begin to heal the younger parts within you that still carry pain. View 11 Photos My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in mindfulness and evidence-based modalities such as DBT and attachment-based therapy. I also work with couples to heal past wounds, rebuild connection, and break unhealthy cycles. With families and kids, I focus on shifting patterns that interfere with emotional closeness and healthy communication.
