My Ideal Client
I work with queer couples and relationships of all configurations, as well as individuals with childhood and/or relational trauma. I tend to be a good fit with people who have been told they are "too sensitive" or "too emotional," who want to undo harmful messaging received in childhood and/or from larger systems in order to live in greater alignment with their values.

Issues I Treat
Specialties

Relationship / Marriage Issues
I love working with queer couples and relationships. I work within an emotionally focused framework, meaning connecting via our feelings is the key to gaining closeness and healing attachment wounds. We may also delve into how each person's "protective parts" and unconscious messaging received in childhood are contributing to an unwanted relationship cycle.
