I desire to equip individuals and couples repair relational ruptures through helping clients become more aware of their emotions, equipping them to articulate their feelings without fear or judgement, resulting in a stronger emotional bond, where both partners feel secure and supported. 

Sometimes clients are unaware of emotional triggers, becoming so flooded in conflict that it becomes a cycle. They don’t understand themselves or their partner, which leads to exhaustion, frustration, and deep pain.

I use an Emotionally Focused approach, incorporating Gottman-informed language, to help clients express their needs, thoughts, and emotions to their partners with clarity and compassion. My style is warm and grounded – I am to listen attentively, validate your experience, and offer affirmation and encouragement throughout our work together. 

My goals for therapy are to provide a supportive and empathetic environment for clients to safely explore personal growth, self-awareness, self-acceptance and healthier communication with the ones you love.
