Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of conflict and misunderstanding in your relationships? Do you long for deeper connections but find yourself facing barriers you can't seem to overcome? As a therapist specializing in relationship issues, I am here to offer you a guiding hand on your journey towards healing and connection. With a warm, empathetic approach, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore your feelings, build effective communication, and foster healthier relationships. My focus areas include anxiety/depression, childhood trauma, PTSD, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and marital/pre-marital issues.
My approach is holistic and grounded in psychodynamic, humanistic, and somatic orientations, I use a range of trauma modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS), (EMDR), Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Brainspotting (BSP), and more to tailor sessions to your unique needs. I actively engage with you and provide feedback.
I offer 1.5-hour weekly or bi-weekly sessions and 3-hour intensives for accelerated healing. Through trauma-informed care, we’ll explore patterns, develop skills, and craft a roadmap for positive relationship changes. Schedule a free consultation to start your journey toward growth, self-discovery, and a more harmonious life.
