In my work with self-esteem issues, I take a holistic approach that nurtures both mind and body. Together, we explore the roots of self-worth, challenge negative self-talk, and foster a kinder self-image. Using evidence-based methods, I guide clients in building confidence and resilience, focusing on body positivity and acceptance. My goal is to create a safe space for clients to reconnect with themselves, empowering them to embrace their unique strengths and live authentically.

My work is rooted in an attachment approach, recognizing that our earliest relationships shape how we connect and trust others. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental space, I help clients understand their attachment patterns and how these influence their relationships. Together, we explore and heal past wounds, fostering secure connections and healthier boundaries. My goal is to empower clients to build fulfilling relationships, grounded in trust, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.

I help clients navigate relationship challenges through a blend of the Gottman Method, EFT, Imago, and Interpersonal Process. Common issues I address include communication breakdowns, trust issues, conflict, and intimacy concerns. My approach focuses on rebuilding connection, fostering empathy, and strengthening communication. In a supportive space, I guide couples and individuals toward healthier dynamics and deeper understanding, empowering them to create lasting, fulfilling relationships.

With Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT), I help clients understand how their relationships impact their emotional well-being. Focusing on patterns of communication and connection, we explore how past experiences shape current interactions. This approach fosters self-awareness and encourages healthier relationships. Together, we work on building stronger, supportive connections, helping clients navigate life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges with greater resilience

I use attachment-focused EMDR to help clients process unresolved past experiences impacting their self-worth and relationships. This approach combines EMDR’s powerful trauma-healing techniques with an emphasis on attachment, addressing deep-seated emotional patterns. Together, we work to reframe painful memories and strengthen inner resilience, empowering clients to build secure, healthier connections and move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

Using the Gottman Method, I help couples strengthen their relationship through research-backed techniques. We focus on building trust, improving communication, and managing conflict in constructive ways. I guide clients in developing deeper emotional understanding and fostering connection, using structured exercises to enhance intimacy and friendship. This approach empowers couples to navigate challenges with resilience and create a lasting, positive foundation for their relationship.
