About My Clients

My clients are thoughtful, emotionally intense, and often high-capacity people who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns. Many are navigating trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, or the strain of disconnection in marriage. Some are neurodivergent or partnered with someone who is. They value insight but want more than coping skills—they want real change. They’re ready to slow down, face hard truths, and build secure, lasting bonds rooted in emotional safety and clarity.

My Background and Approach

My background is in Marriage and Family Therapy, with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based model grounded in attachment science and neuroscience. I work from the belief that our nervous systems and relationships are deeply intertwined. When connection feels unsafe, we develop protective patterns that once made sense but now create distance and distress. In our work together, we slow down the moment and look beneath conflict to the emotions driving it. I help clients identify and reshape the negative cycles keeping them stuck, process trauma in a structured and contained way, and build secure, responsive bonds. My style is steady, direct, and compassionate. Therapy with me is experiential and depth-oriented—we don’t just talk about change; we practice it in the room so it becomes embodied and lasting.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people make sense in context. What looks like overreacting, withdrawal, or anxiety is often a nervous system trying to protect against loss or disconnection. I believe secure attachment is not a luxury—it is a biological need. When we feel emotionally safe, we grow, take risks, and become more fully ourselves. I value honesty, depth, and courage in the therapy room. I am especially passionate about integrating attachment science, trauma research, and an understanding of neurodivergent emotional processing into relational work. Outside of therapy, I’m drawn to quiet spaces, meaningful conversation, and reflective practices that support grounding and clarity. I believe growth is lifelong, and I hold space for my clients from that same commitment to ongoing becoming.
