Relationships can bring up some of our deepest emotions and patterns. I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, misunderstood, stuck in recurring conflicts, or unsure how to communicate what they need. Together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, understand the patterns you bring into relationships, and work toward more honest communication, stronger boundaries, deeper connection, and relationships that feel healthier and more fulfilling.

I work with people who struggle with self-doubt, confidence, body image, or feeling like they’re never quite good enough. We can explore where those beliefs came from, how past experiences and relationships have shaped the way you see yourself, and how those patterns show up today. Our work can focus on building a more compassionate relationship with yourself, trusting your own voice, and feeling more confident in who you are.

Anxiety can show up as overthinking, constant worry, difficulty making decisions, or feeling like you can never fully relax. I work with clients to better understand what’s underneath their anxiety and the patterns that keep it going. Together, we can work on quieting some of the mental noise, trusting yourself more, and finding ways to respond to anxiety without letting it make your decisions for you.

I work with couples who want to feel more connected, understood, and secure in their relationship. We’ll look beyond the argument itself to understand the emotions, needs, and patterns underneath it. I help partners slow down recurring cycles, communicate more openly, and better understand each other’s perspectives. The goal isn’t to decide who is right or wrong, but to help you relate to one another in a healthier, more connected way.

Person-centered therapy means that you are the expert on your own life. I’m not here to tell you what you should do or decide who you should become. My role is to listen deeply, help you understand yourself more clearly, and create space for you to explore without judgment. I’ll offer reflections, ask questions, and challenge you when it feels helpful, while respecting that the direction and pace of therapy should ultimately be guided by you.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help clients better understand the emotions, needs, and relationship patterns underneath what’s happening on the surface. Rather than focusing only on changing behaviors, we can explore what drives them and create new ways of responding. My training in this approach was with Dr. Adele Lafrance, and I especially value EFT for helping people build greater emotional awareness and connection.
