Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

Who do you turn to when your partner has stopped acknowledging, considering, or appreciating you? When you’re afraid that you won’t get the kind of love you need?

Maybe there’s a recent change in your family that you didn’t see coming. You want to stay emotionally connected with them but you notice yourself drifting away. You desperately want a deep connection, to know you’re doing the right thing.

I have great compassion for the circumstances that lead one to seek out counseling. You may be at a point where you feel stuck and don't know where to go or how to move forward, whether it be at your job, in a relationship, or where you find yourself in this time and place. It can be confusing and sometimes the only thing we know for sure is "this is not where I want to be."

Do you struggle to share how you really feel in relationships because your partner often gets defensive or doesn’t really seem to hear you?

What if you could communicate your needs in a way that created connection rather than further distanced you? Together, I can help you transform your patterns of relating with one another so that you can start to feel connected and secure in your relationship.
