About me
I'm a holistic experiential therapist that specializes in attachment and trauma healing. I have individual and couple openings available.
Hello! Do you feel like there’s a gray cloud hanging over you that just won’t go away? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, or attachment wounds that lead to recurring conflicts in your relationships? I work with people who crave more from life, but aren't sure of what is getting in their way. My clients recognize there is something underlying their current patterns that needs to change and are dedicated to the process of self reflection and growth. If you’re ready to dig deeper, resolve past trauma, improve how you connect with others, and clarify your values and goals, I might be the counselor for you.
I am trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Parts and Memory Therapy. I am an experiential trauma therapist that specializes in working through trauma and attachment wounds. I help my clients transform their pain into resilience, guiding them toward hope and deeper connections.
Life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle, especially when past wounds and current struggles weigh you down. It’s okay to feel uncertain, stuck, or even a bit lost. But you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can explore what’s holding you back and discover what feels true to who you are and who you want to be. Reach out for a free consultation.
