Though my training is extensive- EFCT Level 3, Psychoanalytic-Systemic Certification, TBRI Practitioner, and more - what actually matters to me isn't the list of credentials. It's knowing what a harmful relationship can do to a person, and how shifting into a secure bond can change their entire world. I've spent years working with families from different backgrounds, and one thing never stops astonishing me: how much a secure attachment can transform the life of a child, an individual, or a couple. Thankfully, EFCT decoded love and found a scientific way to help us feel safe in relationship with one another. Together, whether you're an individual or a couple, we'll explore your patterns and how they keep showing up in your relationships. In session, we'll practice new ways of interacting in a safe space, and you'll carry that skill out naturally. If you're ready to begin this work, I would be honored to walk beside you through your chapter of healing.

I became a relationship therapist for one core reason: I believe we are designed to be relational, and it's inside relationship that we grow into our best selves. Evolutionary psychology tells us connection is how we've survived this long. But I believe it goes deeper than survival. We become our fullest selves when we are truly seen, especially inside a healthy relationship. I believe we come into this world to grow, not in a performative way, but spiritually and emotionally, developing values rooted in a larger goodness, not just what serves us. Every choice we make, even small ones, ripples outward into others and into the generations after us. This is the value at the heart of my work: a healthy relationship doesn't just help us grow individually. It teaches us we were never meant to live only for ourselves. We learn to give, to choose others and not only ourselves, and to grow beyond our own needs. There is nothing greater than a life spent giving to the people we love.
