Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Everyone, including you (and your partner), deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and understood. With a collaborative approach, I seek to create that safe environment where individuals and couples can explore and transform their stories, finding healing and integration. Working from an attachment theory lens, I provide strategic, practical, and holistic support while facilitating a deeper journey inward that gets to the core issues. I integrate emotionally focused therapy (EFT), CBT, and attachment theory with client-centered therapy. Together, we will work towards growth, self-awareness, insight, and change.

I offer help by fostering a therapeutic relationship that promotes vulnerability and trust between the client and myself. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is to cultivate a nonjudgmental environment in which both parties can feel safe to be completely honest to solve the issue at hand. I offer experience in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness.
