Individual Therapy
Sometimes the relationship that needs the most attention is the one you have with yourself.
The way we move through relationships is shaped long before we meet our partners. Our family dynamics, culture, lived experiences, and the stories we carry about ourselves influence how we communicate, set boundaries, experience intimacy, and respond during moments of stress or conflict.
Sometimes those patterns support us.
Sometimes they leave us feeling stuck.
Individual therapy offers an opportunity to better understand those patterns, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and create meaningful change that extends into every area of your life.
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, life transitions, questions about sexuality, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, therapy provides a space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater intention..
You don't have to be in a relationship to benefit from relationship-focused therapy.
One of the most common misconceptions I hear is that relationship therapy is only for couples.
In reality, every relationship begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.
The way we respond to conflict.
The way we ask for what we need.
The way we experience closeness.
The way we care for ourselves when life feels overwhelming.
These patterns often develop over many years and quietly shape the way we move through friendships, family relationships, romantic partnerships, and even our relationship with our own bodies.
Therapy offers an opportunity to understand those patterns with curiosity rather than judgment and decide whether they continue to serve the life you want to build.
Understanding yourself is different from criticizing yourself.
Many people begin therapy believing they need to become someone different.
More confident.
Less anxious.
Better at relationships.
Less emotional.
I don't begin from that assumption.
Instead, I begin with curiosity.
Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, emotions, beliefs, and bodily sensations that have shaped your life. Often, what feels confusing today begins to make sense once it's understood in the context of your experiences.
Because lasting change rarely begins with criticism.
It begins with understanding.
My Approach
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding.
My role isn't to tell you who you should become. It's to help you better understand yourself so you can make choices that feel authentic and aligned with your values.
Together, we'll explore not only what you're experiencing today, but also the relationships, life experiences, cultural influences, and emotional patterns that have shaped the way you move through the world.
Therapy isn't only about understanding what has hurt you. It's also about recognizing the strengths, resilience, and ways of relating that have helped you get this far. Healing often comes from honoring both the challenges you've faced and the resources you've developed along the way.
My work integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic therapy, somatic and experiential interventions, and other evidence-based approaches. More importantly, I tailor therapy to the unique person sitting in front of me because no two people arrive with the same story, strengths, or goals.

My hope for our work together
Therapy isn't about becoming someone different.
It's about understanding yourself more fully.
My hope is that you leave therapy feeling more connected to yourself, more curious about your experiences, and more compassionate toward the parts of yourself that may have learned to protect, hide, or disconnect over time.
As we come to understand ourselves more fully, we often discover new ways of relating to others—with greater confidence, authenticity, and connection.
Whether you're coming to therapy because you're facing a specific challenge or simply because you want to know yourself more deeply, my hope is that our work helps you build a relationship with yourself that feels grounded, intentional, and reflective of who you are.
