Therapy, for me, is about understanding the patterns that shape how we relate to others and to ourselves. 

Many of the people I work with don't arrive with a clear explanation of what's wrong. They often come with a sense that something in their relationships, emotions, or inner world doesn't feel as steady or connected as they want it to be. 

I work from an attachment-based and emotionally focused perspective, with attention to the relational patterns that often develop early in life and continue to show up in adulthood. 

These patterns can be subtle. They might look like repeated misunderstandings in relationships, difficulty feeling emotionally connected even when you want to, or a sense of pulling away just as closeness starts to feel important. 

In therapy, we slow things down enough to notice what's happening in those moments and what it might be protecting or expressing. 

I also work closely with underlying emotional experiences, especially the ones that are harder to identify in real time. 

Often what feels like being stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected is connected to emotions that haven't had enough space to be understood. Part of our work is learning to recognize those emotions, stay with them, and begin to understand what they are communicating about your needs, your relationships, and your past experiences. 

I often work with:

• Individuals who notice repeated patterns in relationships that feel hard to shift
• Couples who feel emotionally distant, stuck in cycles, or unsure how to reconnect
• People who grew up with emotional inconsistency, distance, or difficulty feeling understood
• Those who find it easier to function than to fully understand or express what they feel

I aim to bring a steady, collaborative presence to the therapy process. The work is not about fixing you. It's about making sense of what has shaped your experience, and creating space for new ways of relating to yourself and to others to emerge. 

If you're wondering whether this might be a good fit, you're welcome to reach out for a brief consultation.
