Relationships are where we experience our deepest connection, yet they can also be the
source of our greatest hurts. While people are often wounded in relationships, I believe
relationships are also a great source of healing. It is a privilege to walk alongside you,
offering a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can safely
process your story. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous choice, and you
do not have to carry your burdens alone. Together, we will collaboratively untangle
painful patterns, heal past wounds, and build secure connections.
Clinical Approach & Training
To support your unique path to healing, I blend evidence-based frameworks that respect both your internal world and your relationship systems:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Utilized from an attachment lens to help couples and families identify negative cycles, safely express deeper vulnerabilities, and build resilient, secure emotional bonds.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): Integrated to help you explore and gently process historical hurts, allowing well-intentioned but protective parts of yourself to step back so true self-healing can occur.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Implemented from a trauma-informed focus to help the mind and body gently clear the emotional charge of past trauma, reducing reactivity in your present-day life and relationships.
- The Gottman Method: Applied to provide couples with practical, research-backed tools to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, and enhance hope for the future.
