About My Clients

My Background and Approach

I also have a special passion for relational coaching when working with couples, families, and small groups. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help partners break free from painful cycles, strengthen emotional bonds, and rediscover intimacy through vulnerability and trust. Whether clients are healing from betrayal, navigating communication breakdowns, exploring non-traditional relationship structures, or simply seeking to deepen their connection, I help them create new patterns of relating that foster safety, closeness, and mutual understanding. For relationships in distress, she becomes a steady presence and helps to them move from reactivity to repair, and from disconnection to deeper love.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Much of my personal story involves navigating the convoluted effects of religious trauma and spiritual abuse. Having walked through the process of deconstruction, grief, and ultimately reclamation of her own spirituality, I bring an empathetic and understanding that can only be learned through experience. Because of this lived experience, I frequently supports others who are untangling faith-based wounds, rebuilding trust in themselves, and rediscovering a sense of sacred connection on their own terms.
