If you've ever felt stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, struggled with setting boundaries, or questioned why certain emotions hit so hard, you're not alone. The way you connect with others—whether in friendships, dating, family, or even with yourself—can be shaped by early experiences. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and give you the tools to build stronger, healthier connections.

I specialize in attachment wounds—the emotional pain that comes from relationships that didn't provide the security, validation, or care you needed. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, or difficulties in relationships, we'll work together to understand the root of these struggles and find new ways to heal.

Using a mix of CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, trauma-focused techniques, and attachment-based work, I help clients break free from old cycles and build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional balance.

Therapy isn't just about coping—it's about real change. A safe and supportive space can help you explore painful emotions, develop healthier relationships, and reshape how you see yourself and the world.

Reaching out can feel intimidating, but choosing therapy is a step toward understanding yourself in a deeper way. Let's work together to build the emotional security that allows you to thrive.
