My best work is done with folks who are looking to deepen their understanding of themself and their relationships. As a lover of attachment theory, it is so powerful to help clients discover how they can feel more securely connected to themselves, their relationships, and the world around them.

My therapy style is often described as warm, candid, and informative. I am formally trained as a marriage and family therapist and utilize an attachment based lens when working with individuals and couples. I also have extensive experience in emotion focused therapy and am trained in the Gottman methodology.

Our therapist's are often the mirror to ourselves and can reflect back the answers we've been looking for. I want to be your mirror, and I'm excited to help.

I work with clients wanting to better understand the "why" in how they connect to others, clients who may be struggling to understand their reactivity in relationships, or just wanting to understand how to more deeply connect in a way that feels honest and true. My goal is that my clients feel that they are living their most authentic selves and have relationships that feel meaningful.

I am a lover of attachment theory and emotion focused therapy. In our first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you into therapy, how you move through the world, and strategies you may be using to emotionally protect yourself that are no longer serving you. We'll get to the core of your needs and empower you to share them with others in your life, leading you to more fulfilling relationships.
