Rooted Connection. Relational Healing. Meaningful Change.

My Approach

I believe counseling is most effective when it is grounded in safety, trust, and a real human relationship. My work is relational, steady, and engaged—offering a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface of your experiences.

In our work together, I’m active and present. Sessions often focus on understanding emotional patterns as they unfold in real time—within yourself or between you and others. I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), parts work (IFS), and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional regulation (Hakomi & PACT), self-understanding, and more secure, connected relationships.

Rather than offering quick fixes, my work helps clients develop depth, clarity, and sustainable change. This includes learning how to work with intense emotions, recognize protective patterns, and make choices that are more aligned with your values and the kind of life and relationships you want to build.

With couples, I help slow reactive cycles, strengthen emotional safety, and rebuild connection when trust, communication, or intimacy has been strained. With individuals, our work often centers on developing greater self-awareness, emotional steadiness, and relational clarity.

My approach is informed by lived experience, body-based awareness, and a deep respect for the natural rhythms of growth and change. Healing is not linear, and I honor it as a layered, ongoing process. This work is an invitation to listen inward, tend to what matters most, and move toward a life and relationships that feel more grounded, connected, and intentional.

People I Work With

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents who are navigating emotionally complex seasons of life and relationship. Much of my work centers on moments of transition, strain, or rupture—when old patterns no longer work and new ways of relating are needed.

I often work with:

• Couples in high-conflict or emotionally reactive dynamics who want to slow things down, reduce harm, and rebuild emotional safety

• Partners navigating relationship rupture, separation, or breakup recovery, including those seeking clarity about whether to stay together

• Individuals adjusting to major life transitions, such as becoming parents or redefining roles within relationships

• Men and fathers seeking greater emotional awareness, relational responsibility, and more connected partnerships

• Adolescents and young men, through mentorship-oriented counseling that supports identity development, emotional maturity, and healthy relationship skills

• Young adults struggling to launch into independent adulthood, including difficulties with motivation, confidence, direction, or separating from family-of-origin dynamics

• Clients navigating challenges with differentiation from family, such as feeling overly responsible for parents, emotionally entangled, or unsure how to develop an independent sense of self

Clients who tend to benefit most from my approach are thoughtful, reflective, and willing to engage honestly with their inner world and relational patterns—even when that work feels challenging. You don’t need to have everything figured out; you do need a willingness to show up with curiosity and care.
