About me

I fell in love with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in 2017, and since then, I have been fascinated by its power to transform not just couples, but the way we connect with ourselves. Whether working with individuals (EFIT) or partners, I am dedicated to supporting you as you work toward moving beyond conflict and finding a deeper, more secure sense of belonging. My practice is deeply informed by the spirit of Schema Therapy, helping you understand the lifelong patterns that shape your world. I am particularly committed to supporting women and uterus owners in navigating the unique challenges of hormonal transitions and female socialization. My aim is to create a space where you can understand your somatic needs and foster more meaningful connections in all areas of your life. While every journey is unique, I am here to support you in discovering your own path toward emotional resilience and balance. I primarily offer online sessions to provide a flexible environment for our work together.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Menstrual coachingRecommended for those who want to better understand their menstrual cycle and learn how to manage their emotions and energy throughout the month.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.

My therapeutic style is calm, compassionate, and deeply collaborative. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to act as a steady guide as we discover the patterns that shape your life together.

In our sessions, I integrate the emotional depth of EFT/EFIT with the transformative tools of Schema Therapy. This includes imagery rescripting and working with inner parts to explore not just your thoughts, but also the 'felt sense' in your body and how emotions manifest physically.

A central part of my work is acknowledging the somatic realities of women and uterus owners. I provide psychoeducation on how stress impacts menstruation and perimenopause, helping you identify unmet needs and develop a practice of self-compassion during these transitions. My goal is to provide a flexible space where you feel truly seen and supported.
