You want a space where you can explore with curiosity, care, and support.

You may not feel you have a "problem", but you're carrying a lot on your own and want a space where you can be supported, understood, and begin to make sense of what's underneath it all.

My Approach:

I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern with a trauma-informed, relational style. I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand their emotions, patterns in relationships, and how past experiences may still influence the way they show up today.

My approach is grounded in the belief that how we connect with others, how we trust, express needs, or protect ourselves, often comes from earlier experiences.

Together, we look at those patterns with compassion and explore new ways of relating that feel more true to who you are now.

I draw on systemic thinking and utilize models such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support your healing process, often exploring how early attachment wounds influence current relationships. My work centers on safety, insight, and your inner wisdom.

Therapy doesn't mean something's wrong with you. It means you're human.
