You're not alone

Something has to change.
You already know it.

Maybe you wake up anxious and can't explain why. Maybe you've been running on empty for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like to just be okay. Maybe something happened, or a lot of things happened, and the weight of it is finally catching up with you.

Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: reaching out takes courage.

I believe you are wired to thrive, and if something is getting in the way of that, I'm here to help. When you're ready, I'd love to hear from you.

Individual Therapy

Healing that goes deeper than coping strategies.

I use AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), an approach built on the belief that you have an innate capacity for healing. Together, we explore what might be getting in the way of that, whether it's old patterns, unprocessed emotion, or the ways you've learned to protect yourself.

In our sessions, we pay close attention to what's actually happening for you, in real time. That's where change takes root. Not just as something you understand, but something you can feel.

Many people find that AEDP reaches places that other approaches haven't.
What I can help with
  • Anxiety and worry that won't quiet down
  • Depression and feeling disconnected
  • Trauma and the effects of past wounds
  • Grief and loss
  • Low self-worth or persistent shame
  • Difficulty trusting yourself or others

Couples Therapy

When you're ready to reach each other again.

My approach is grounded in attachment science. The work focuses on the emotional bond between you and your partner, and what's been getting in the way of it.

A central part of this work is helping each of you access the softer feelings that usually stay hidden beneath the conflict. When those deeper emotions become visible to your partner, something often shifts.

Underneath most relationship struggles is a simple, deeply human question. Are you there for me?
What I can help with
  • Distance and disconnection
  • Repeated arguments that go nowhere
  • Loss of intimacy or closeness
  • Trust ruptures and rebuilding
  • Life transitions putting strain on the relationship
  • Wanting to feel like a team again
