I offer counseling for individuals and couples who feel stuck in painful emotional or relational dynamics and want things to start improving. If you find yourself encountering the same patterns and wondering why change feels so difficult, we can work to explore what’s behind these patterns and reconnect with what matters to you. Our work might involve making small, practical changes that bring relief to your everyday life. Or, we may start to explore emotions that haven't had space before. Our goal is for you to be able to live in a way that is fulfilling and authentic to the person you are.
My person-centered approach is grounded in the idea that every one of us has an inherent tendency toward growth. I incorporate elements of attachment theory, which helps inform how we approach our relationships with others. I also offer EMDR to help with processing trauma, distressing events, difficult emotions, and stubborn, unhelpful beliefs.
When working with couples I use an emotionally focused (EFT) informed approach to help partners feel safer and begin to reconnect on a deeper level. I also use Gottman-style strategies to support clearer communication and effective conflict repair. Over time we work toward building a relationship where both of you feel truly heard, validated, and supported.
