You might be feeling:
-
Stuck in painful or confusing relationship patterns
-
affected by emotional abuse or chronic invalidation
-
overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or overthinking
-
unsure how to trust yourself or others
-
disconnected in your relationship, or caught in repeating conflict
My approach
My approach is psychodynamic and relational, meaning we look at the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, not just the symptoms. I’m active and direct in sessions. I'll help you slow things down, notice patterns, and make sense of what's happening underneath.
Integrating:
-
Attachment-focused work - to understand relational patterns and their origins
-
Present-moment awareness - to track what’s happening in real time during sessions.
-
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to process and resolve trauma
You may have learned to:
-
prioritize others' needs over your own
-
question your reality or minimize your experiences
-
stay in relationships that feel one-sided or emotionally unsafe
Therapy can help you understand where these patterns come from, and actually shift them.
Specialities:
Using EMDR and relational approaches to help you process difficult experiences and reduce their hold on your daily life.
Rebuilding self-trust and clarity after chronic invalidation, manipulation, or emotionally unsafe relationships.
Exploring deeper dynamics that shape how you connect - and how to build more secure, fulfilling relationships.
Who I work with
Adults navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional abuse, and identity questions, who are ready to go beneath the surface and create lasting change.
Partners caught in repeating conflict, disconnection, or struggling to feel safe with each other. I use Gottman and EFT approaches.
