About My Clients

Imagine feeling more connected in your relationships; on steadier footing around family conflict; gaining flexibility back into your work/life balance and developing a deeper sense of self that helps you feel empowered in the face of uncertainty. Let me show you what it feels like to build a safe relationship where you feel heard, accepted, and understood in a new way that is productive and healing. Let me teach you how to replicate that with others, and most importantly - yourself.

My Background and Approach

Extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I use this powerfully effective attachment-based model to promote connection, healing, and growth. I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and experiential approach to assist clients in improving relationship dynamics, navigating life’s challenges, managing chronic stress, overcoming past wounds, and developing greater self-awareness, compassion, and empowerment. Leading from a place of empathy and authenticity, I am genuinely invested in helping you create the life you want for yourself! I specialize in working with issues related to stress, relationship issues, couples counseling, anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment issues, professional burnout, family conflict, parenting, teens impacted by divorce, trauma, crisis intervention, and ADHD. I've found my approach most effective with those in the health/helping profession, educational field, tech industry, WFH, creative types, and entrepreneurs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Simply put, practicing psychotherapy is what I was called to do. I've dedicated my life and career to understanding and improving human connection because the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. My work is centered on the belief that every human deserves to experience the transformative power of empathy, vulnerability, authenticity, and safe connection. I believe strongly in cultivating a safe, authentic, and emotionally attuned experience within the therapist-client relationship so that in each session you feel seen and heard in a new way that is productive and healing. I use my education, extensive training, and lived experience to walk alongside you in your efforts toward an improved way of experiencing yourself, others, and the world. Come sit with me. You no longer have to navigate these painful challenges alone. Set up a complimentary phone consultation today! You can reach me directly via phone call or email.
