Counseling can be a really meaningful tool in empowering you to connect with yourself and

those around you, and to live a sustainably healthy life. As your counselor, I trust that you are the

expert of your own life and seek to provide a space where you can show up fully as you are. My

hope for our time together is that you feel seen, heard, and held. I hope that you find your way

back to yourself and those you love, and that you find rest, even in the tensions and difficulties of

life.

Previous Work

​

The work I enjoy the most is emotionally focused therapy (EFT) focused. In this work, I’ve seen

couples, families and individuals deepen their vulnerability with self and others, access

underlying emotional experiences and share them courageously with themselves and those they

love. EFT is an incredibly powerful evidence based therapeutic modality that has empowered so

many to live freely, authentically, and from the heart (me included). I have helped couples work

through infidelity, intercultural differences/experiences, communication, and parenting among

other issues. I’ve also worked with families to create safe spaces for all members to be held in

their unique experiences. My work with individuals has ranged from processing shame, grief,

and trauma, to navigating life transitions. I am truly gifted by this work that I get to do and the

amazing people I get to encounter.
