about Me

Attachment is a biological imperative for survival — we’re wired to seek connection, safety, and care. When those needs go unmet or are met inconsistently, especially in early or important relationships, it can shape the way we relate to others and to ourselves. These wounds, whether big or subtle, can linger beneath the surface and influence our emotions, behaviors, and sense of self in ways that aren’t always obvious. I use a trauma-informed lens to gently explore and process these experiences, honoring the protective strategies you’ve developed along the way, while creating space for healing, self-compassion, and more secure, fulfilling connections.

ACT is a mindfulness-based, values-driven approach that supports us in making space for the full range of human experience — even the messy, painful, or uncomfortable parts. Rather than getting stuck in struggle or trying to "fix" what feels hard, ACT invites us to build a different relationship with our thoughts and emotions, one that allows for greater compassion, flexibility, and choice. It’s about learning to gently turn toward turn toward your inner world, clarify what matters most, and take steps — even small ones — toward a more meaningful, connected life.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers a way for individuals and couples to understand and shift the painful patterns that keep them feeling stuck, distant, or misunderstood. Even when the surface issues change, the deeper emotional cycle often stays the same. In our work together, we’ll slow things down, uncover the feelings and needs beneath the surface, and support you in building new ways of relating — to yourself and to the people who matter most. The goal isn’t just fewer moments of conflict or stress — it’s a stronger, more secure sense of connection, rooted in trust, vulnerability, and care.
