I bring both academic knowledge and a deep appreciation for Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to my practice. I completed a semester-long class on EFT, where I gained a thorough understanding of its core principles and techniques. This training equipped me with the tools to help clients explore and understand their emotional experiences, particularly in the context of relationships.

I bring a unique blend of personal experience and professional training to my practice. With over three years of experience as a client in psychodynamic therapy, I have gained firsthand insight into the transformative process from the client's perspective. I also receive regular supervision from a psychoanalyst who specializes in psychodynamic therapy, ensuring I continue to deepen my understanding of the approach.

I combine both personal insight and professional training in addressing this complex issue. Through my own experiences and extensive study, I’ve gained a deep understanding of the patterns, behaviors, and emotional dynamics that define codependency. Additionally, I have received specialized training in therapeutic approaches that target unhealthy relationship patterns, including psychodynamic therapy, which helps uncover the unconscious roots of codependent behaviors.

My work emphasizes the importance of safety, trust, and emotional regulation, key components when working with complex trauma. I also integrate psychodynamic principles to explore how past traumatic events shape current behaviors and relationships. By creating a supportive, empathetic space, I help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms, process unresolved emotions, and rebuild a sense of safety and agency in their lives.

I work with individuals and couples to explore underlying patterns, communication styles, and emotional needs that often create conflict or disconnection in relationships. My approach is informed by both psychodynamic therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which allows me to help clients uncover and address the root causes of their relationship challenges. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly express their feelings, develop healthier communication str
