Experiencing grief, loss, or trauma? Feeling disconnected, alone, and generally unhappy? Struggling with relationships, addiction, or painful wounds from childhood? Are powerful emotions holding you back from finding enjoyment in life? If you answered yes to any of these, I can help. Trauma often manifests in mysterious ways, leading to issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trust issues, isolation, numbness, and shame. These challenges can impede our ability to have healthy relationships and care for ourselves.

Through a combination of EFT, mediation, sex therapy, and attachment-focused trauma work, my goal is to help couples rediscover the emotional closeness and joy they once shared.
My ideal clients are couples experiencing emotional and sexual disconnection, feeling distant, frustrated, and struggling to communicate their needs. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) guides them in breaking negative cycles, rebuilding emotional intimacy, & ultimately enhancing their sexual connection. Through EFT’s focus on attachment, couples can reconnect deeper by addressing the emotional blocks that have kept them apart. I incorporate attachment-focused trauma work to help couples heal from past emotional injuries or betrayals that may be contributing to their disconnection. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
