Hello, and welcome! I am delighted to share a glimpse into my work to support couples and individuals in their pursuit of healthy, fulfilling relationships. I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for utilizing evidence-based methods such as PACT, Collaborative Therapy, and Attachment Theory to promote lasting change and growth. Our work will address the unique challenges and dynamics that arise within your relationships. I also specialize in working with individuals and couples who are impacted by ADHD. As a therapist with ADHD, I understand the intricate ways in which it can impact relationships, communication, and daily life.

If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth within your relationship, I am here to offer my support. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your unique situation, instill hope, and create lasting change. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and helping you achieve a more joyful and fulfilling life.

I equip clients with practical tools and skills to navigate conflicts, enhance communication, and cultivate deep emotional connections. I believe that every relationship has the potential to thrive, and my goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, heal wounds, and create lasting bonds.

My approach is influenced by Attachment Theory, recognizing the profound impact of early experiences and attachment patterns on our adult relationships. By exploring attachment, we can uncover deep-rooted patterns that may be contributing to relational difficulties. Together, we will work to promote secure attachment, fostering trust, intimacy, and emotional resilience within your relationships.
