You may find yourself people-pleasing, withdrawing, overfunctioning, or longing for closeness, unsure how to truly let someone in. You may be experiencing anxiety that never settles, pain that lingers, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, no matter how hard you try to change them. These struggles aren't failures, but ways you learned to survive when connection felt uncertain, needs went unmet, or emotions felt too big to experience alone. The strategies that once protected you, or got you the crumbs of what you needed, may now leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, and far from the closeness, compassion, and calm you long for. I can help you uncover the experiences and beliefs that drive your patterns. We lean into the parts that learned to stay small, strong, vigilant, or isolated, helping you reconnect with your needs, voice, and capacity for deeper connection. Healing means finally having the room, safety, and permission to be fully yourself and share it with those you love. I help couples slow down painful cycles and uncover the vulnerable emotions and unmet needs beneath. We'll organize the misses and protective reactions that keep you stuck, help you deepen emotional connection, and rebuild security. I'll help you show up more openly, respond to each other with care, and create emotional intimacy that both of you can rely on. Specialties: I specialize in connection, emotions, attachment, and trauma. Relationship experiences have great power to shape us - what is lovable about us, what emotions are acceptable, what needs we can hope to get met, and who will be there in moments of need. I help individuals and couples unpack these messages, heal unresolved pain, change old patterns, and be open to receiving and giving love. Credentials & Experience: I ground myself in evidence-based maps for lasting change, including IFS, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment, ACT, and Psychodynamic therapy. I work to help you get to the origins of your struggles, guide you through the process of healing or processing, and into the change you seek.
