About My Clients

You may feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—overthinking, feeling anxious when someone pulls away, or losing yourself trying to make things work. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want to understand how past experiences shape their present. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles they can’t seem to break.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in trauma, attachment, and relationship-focused therapy, working with individuals, couples, and families who want to understand and shift patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and somatic, meaning we look beyond surface-level issues to understand how your past experiences and nervous system are shaping your present relationships. Together, we’ll explore the roots of anxiety, disconnection, and conflict while building tools to help you feel more grounded, secure, and connected. With couples and families, we focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and creating healthier ways of relating. I offer a space where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out—you can show up as you are. Over time, this work can help you feel more confident, less reactive, and more aligned in your relationships.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens in safe, supportive relationships where you can show up as your full, authentic self without fear of judgment. Many of the struggles we experience—especially in relationships—are not signs that something is wrong with us, but rather adaptations to past experiences. With the right support, those patterns can shift. I value connection, compassion, and curiosity in the therapeutic process. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and empowering, not clinical or one-sided. You are the expert on your own experience, and my role is to support you in understanding yourself more deeply and creating meaningful, lasting change. I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space where individuals of all backgrounds, identities, and relationship dynamics feel seen, respected, and supported.
