I work with clients facing many forms of anxiety—social, generalized, panic, and performance-related. I focus on calming the nervous system, identifying underlying patterns, and using EMDR and somatic tools to reduce overwhelm, shift internal responses, and restore a sense of safety and control.

I help individuals and couples navigate conflict, disconnection, betrayal, poor communication, and family dynamics. I use attachment-based therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to uncover core patterns, build emotional safety, set healthy boundaries, and heal from toxic or painful relationship experiences. Together, we work toward more secure, authentic connection within your relationships.

I’m Level 2 trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and have completed the Trauma and Affairs training through the Gottman Institute. I use research-based tools to help clients improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection. With couples and individuals, I focus on healing from betrayal, identifying patterns, and strengthening the foundation for lasting, healthy relationships.

I use EMDR to help clients process trauma, reduce emotional reactivity, and rewire stuck beliefs tied to painful experiences. This evidence-based approach allows the brain to heal in a natural, adaptive way—so clients can feel more grounded, empowered, and free from the past. I integrate EMDR with attachment work and nervous system regulation to support deep, lasting change.

I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (trained through MUSC) to help clients make sense of traumatic events, challenge stuck beliefs, and reduce distress. CPT helps clients identify how trauma has shaped their thoughts about safety, trust, control, and self-worth—so they can begin to heal, regain clarity, and move forward with greater self-compassion and resilience.

Attachment counseling helps people understand how early relationships shape the way they connect with others today. In therapy, we explore patterns that may be creating distance, anxiety, or conflict in relationships and work toward building a greater sense of security, trust, and emotional connection.
