Individual Counseling
I often work with people whose protective patterns—while once necessary—have become sources of emotional pain, strained relationships, or symptoms such as addiction, anxiety, and depression. I see therapy as a space to explore these patterns with curiosity and care. By paying attention to how you relate to yourself, to others, and to me within the therapeutic relationship, we begin to uncover the deeper threads shaping your experience. Over time, this process can open the door to greater freedom, connection, and meaningful change.
My approach is integrative and grounded in psychodynamic, mindfulness, and somatic perspectives. I’m particularly interested in the interplay between conscious and unconscious processes, and in how past experiences and relational histories influence present-day behaviors, emotions, and patterns of thinking. Through this exploration, clients often gain insight into unresolved conflicts that may be impacting their mental health and overall well-being. This deeper understanding can foster a renewed sense of clarity and choice in how they move through the world.
I bring my full self into the room—attuned, responsive, and engaged—and view the therapeutic relationship as a living, dynamic space. I value the complexity, ambiguity, and emotional depth that define our shared humanity. It is often through the inevitable imperfections, tensions, and moments of authenticity in the therapeutic relationship that meaningful insight and transformation unfold.
Therapy, as I practice it, invites reflective dialogue, attention to the present moment, and an openness to what arises organically between us. This creates a safe and supportive environment for emotional growth, self-discovery, and the development of healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
relationship counseling
I offer a supportive space for partners to explore and improve their relationship. Through guided conversations couples can address conflicts, enhance communication, and deepen their connection. I will help to navigate challenges, build trust, and develop strategies for a healthier, more fulfilling partnership. Whether you're newly together or have been in a long-term relationship, couples counseling can offer valuable insights and tools to strengthen your bond.
I primarily work from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) lens. This is a therapeutic approach designed to help partners strengthen their emotional bonds and improve communication. By exploring underlying feelings and attachment needs, EFT allows couples to identify and understand their emotional patterns. This process fosters empathy and connection, enabling partners to express themselves more openly and effectively. Through guided sessions, couples work to enhance their understanding of one another, navigate conflict with compassion, and cultivate a more secure, supportive relationship. EFT is particularly beneficial for those seeking to break free from negative cycles and deepen emotional intimacy.,
