Biographical Info
The people who come to me are curious to get to know themselves more deeply and want to bridge authenticity and connection in their relationships. A recurring theme in my work is the interplay between our relationship with ourselves and our relationships with others. I work with individuals, couples, and families using an integrative approach grounded in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral methods. Together, we can work toward both short-term and long-term change. In individual therapy, we might explore how you've kept your emotional world zipped up in order to survive, succeed, caretake, or be loved—strategies that may have once helped, but now leave you depleted and disconnected. Our work can focus on showing up more authentically, clarifying your needs, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting recurring patterns. As your couples or family therapist, I use an attachment-based and systemic lens to understand your relationship dynamics. I support clients in tracking and reshaping unhelpful patterns, increasing intimacy, navigating conflict, creating shared meaning, exploring intercultural or intergenerational differences, and communicating across polarization.
