'I'm all about emotions and how they shape our connections.'
As you move through life, it’s natural to experience moments of disconnection, uncertainty, and emotional strain, especially during times of change and within close relationships. These experiences can feel exhausting, scary, and lonely, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed by thoughts and choices, unsure where to begin. You are not alone in any of this. I’m often inspired by the words of Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, compassion-focused approaches, with a strong emphasis on emotion regulation and relational healing. I support individuals and couples in better understanding their emotional world, cultivating self-compassion, and building healthier, more secure relationships both with themselves and with others. Whether you’re navigating past trauma, current relationship challenges, or patterns that feel difficult to shift, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. I see therapy as a collaborative process: you are the expert on your life, and together, at a pace that feels right for you, we explore what has been shaped by past experiences and what may be possible moving forward. My aim is to create a space that is warm, respectful, and non-judgmental, where all parts of you are welcome. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin, just a willingness to take the first step.
