As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, I support my clients in working through their most painful emotions. Many have experienced some level of trauma, abuse, infidelity, abandonment or neglect, either in the past or in their current life. They may come to therapy with anxiety, depression, PTSD symptoms or an inability to resolve personal conflicts. My goal is to help each client work through the pain that impacts their life and relationships. I believe that with enough insight and compassion you can move past the issues that have kept you stuck for so long. You can learn to live with more love, joy and authenticity.

Calling all neurodivergent folks, HSPs, introverts, and old souls: I am the therapist for you. My life’s calling is supporting folks through their lived experiences of sensitivity, trauma, emotional regulation, and more. Maybe you’ve been told you have Borderline traits, or have a history of self-harm. Maybe you’ve had a tough time with relationships and want to break the pattern of attaching to emotionally unavailable partners. Perhaps you’re just finding yourself emerging from survival mode and struggling to put together all of the pieces.
