My Background and Approach

I am a trained Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Therapist dedicated to help couples and individuals strengthen their bonds together. I specialize in helping couples and individuals break free from cycles that consistently have them in distress and feeling stuck, helpless, alone, unheard, and disconnected. I value relationships and will work for your relationship, as long as that is your goal. If your goal changes, I will gently help you pivot a new pathway as needed. I have an attachment-based lens, with a supportive style that supports you as we build connection in our work together. I take a collaborative approach to allow me to know clients’ stories and experiences. It is important to me to know my clients, their values, interests, strengths, and personality to adapt to their personal needs in therapy. This helps me focus on clients’ goals and desired outcomes in treatment.
