What Are You Seeking?

Ways to self-soothe when I feel anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed

To deepen my relationships and feel safer being vulnerable around people I love

The ability to tune into my body so that I can more readily recognize signs of distress

To be able to communicate with my partner so that we both feel validated, understood, and connected

Support in navigating a difficult transition in my life

A deeper understanding of why I react the way I do

Fear of judgment often leads us to silence our true selves, creating disconnection. I help people learn to trust their intuition and use vulnerability to build deeper connections.

Relationship Counseling

Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and incredibly painful. Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of miscommunication, resentment, or emotional distance. You may love each other but feel unheard, misunderstood, or disconnected. I help couples slow down, tune into each other’s perspectives, and communicate in ways that foster connection rather than defensiveness. Using research-backed approaches like the Gottman Method, we’ll break negative cycles, navigate conflict with greater understanding, and rebuild intimacy. Whether you’re facing ongoing challenges or simply want to deepen your relationship, therapy can help you create a partnership where you both feel valued, heard, and loved.

So why focus on the breath in therapy?

Your breath is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to influence your nervous system. Breathwork is at its core somatic work, getting you back in tune with your body. By consciously slowing and deepening the breath, you send a signal to your parasympathetic nervous system to restore balance and calm. In contrast, activating breath practices can engage the sympathetic nervous system, enhancing focus, motivation, and energy. Breathwork isn’t just about relaxation, it’s about learning to work with your body’s natural rhythms to support balance throughout your day.

Therapy for Individuals

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck—trapped in old patterns, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by the fear that they are unlovable. You may struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of rejection, making it hard to show up authentically in relationships. Maybe heartbreak has left you questioning your worth, or dating feels like an exhausting cycle of longing and disappointment. I help individuals explore the protective strategies that once kept them safe but now hold them back from the connection and fulfillment they crave. We’ll work on healing relational wounds, cultivating self-trust, and building relationships that feel mutual and nourishing. You don’t have to shrink yourself to be loved. If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and step into more fulfilling relationships, I’d love to support you.
