My Approach
connection at
the heart of healing
Love, connection, and belonging are among our deepest human needs. Yet relationships can become strained, painful experiences can leave lasting wounds, and major life transitions can disrupt our sense of self.
Whether you're feeling disconnected in your relationship, navigating postpartum, healing from the effects of trauma, or longing to feel more grounded and authentic in your own life - I believe that meaningful change occurs when we better understand ourselves and create new experiences of emotional safety, authenticity, and connection.
I help individuals and couples better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and cultivate deeper connection with themselves and the people they love utilizing a therapeutic approach grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment based therapy, Internal Family Systems informed work (IFS informed), and somatic therapy.
Attachment-based & emotionally focused
Attachment is at the heart of my work.
Our early experiences shape how we seek connection, respond to vulnerability, protect ourselves from hurt, and navigate closeness in relationships. These patterns often operate outside of our awareness, yet they profoundly influence how we experience ourselves and others.
I help clients to better understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion and move toward more secure, fulfilling ways of relating.
My work is informed by advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, attachment-based approaches, and relational trauma treatment. This allows me to work with conflict, disconnection, intimacy concerns, and attachment injuries with depth and nuance.

Somatic awareness & Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Intimacy is more than physical closeness. It is the experience of being known, understood, and emotionally connected.
Desire is shaped by many factors, including stress, trauma, attachment experiences, relationship dynamics, and major life transitions such as pregnancy and parenthood. Together, these experiences influence how connected and alive we feel within ourselves and our relationships.
I help individuals and couples explore the deeper emotional experiences that influence closeness, vulnerability, desire, and connection so they can create relationships that feel more secure, authentic, and fulfilling.
