Introduction

As a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring extensive expertise and dedication to my practice. I am deeply passionate about facilitating healing and fostering secure, loving bonds in relationships. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families. In our work together, I will help you break free from unhealthy patterns, navigate emotional triggers, and enhance communication and conflict resolution skills. By integrating self-regulation techniques, such as mindfulness and emotional awareness, and co-regulation techniques, which involve creating safety and connection with others, we will reshape your nervous system to promote emotional resilience and deepen connection. I have received advanced training in the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Model. Additionally, I am trained in Polyvagal Theory (PVT) by Deb Dana, LCSW, a founding member of the Polyvagal Institute. EFT helps me understand how attachment shapes our need for secure connections, while PVT provides insight into how our nervous system processes emotions and influences behavior. By combining EFT and PVT, I am equipped to address complex trauma with each individual, couple, and family that I serve. As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, kink-aware, and poly-friendly practitioner, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for all individuals. I am a Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT), the Atlanta Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy (ACEFT), and the Polyvagal Institute. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey built on honesty, vulnerability, and courage. Growth often emerges at the edges of our discomfort, while healing is found in the bravery to face our deepest struggles with empathy and compassion. My mission as a therapist is to help individuals, couples, and families break free from generational patterns, fostering wholehearted connection and resilience in their relationships.
