About My Clients

Feeling lonely in your relationship? Having the same fight over and over, or living parallel lives with your partner? Or maybe you look fine on the outside while anxiety, old trauma, or self-doubt run the show inside. I work with couples and adults, including infidelity, grief, life transitions, codependency, ADHD, neurodivergence, and big emotions. You don't have to figure it out alone.

My Background and Approach

With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to uncover the emotions and needs underneath the fights and the distance. With individuals, I use EMDR and attachment-based, trauma-informed therapy to help what's stuck in your body and mind finally settle. My sessions are warm, down to earth, and hands-on. We won't just talk in circles, and you'll leave with real tools and a clearer sense of what's going on.
