Feeling Stuck or Disconnected?

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship, caught in recurring conflict, or struggling to feel emotionally close to your partner? Or perhaps you are navigating the challenges of being single and finding yourself repeating painful relationship patterns.

You are not alone.

Many of the struggles we experience in relationships are rooted in unresolved attachment wounds and past experiences that shape how we connect, communicate, and protect ourselves emotionally. These patterns can leave us feeling stuck, misunderstood, anxious, or disconnected.

As an attachment-focused therapist, I help individuals and couples better understand these patterns and create healthier ways of relating. Together, we work toward deeper emotional connection, improved communication, greater self-awareness, and more fulfilling relationships.

Whether you are navigating conflict, infidelity, trust issues, intimacy concerns, or life transitions, I provide a compassionate and collaborative approach to support meaningful healing and lasting change.

Healing Through Attachment-Focused Therapy

Our early attachment experiences often shape how we experience closeness, vulnerability, conflict, and emotional safety in relationships. When attachment wounds go unaddressed, they can create painful cycles of disconnection, defensiveness, withdrawal, or emotional overwhelm.

Using an attachment-focused approach rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help individuals and couples identify the deeper emotions and unmet attachment needs beneath these recurring patterns.

Unlike approaches that focus primarily on problem-solving or communication techniques alone, EFT helps couples understand the emotional cycle happening underneath the conflict. By creating greater emotional safety and responsiveness, couples can begin to reconnect, rebuild trust, and strengthen their bond in more lasting and meaningful ways.

Together, we work toward greater emotional security, connection, and healthier ways of relating to both yourself and others.

Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion in Relationship

I am committed to creating a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for individuals and couples from all walks of life, including those within theLGBTQIA2S+ community.

I strive to help clients feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood while supporting deeper emotional connection and authenticity within their relationships.

Empowering Growth and Fulfillment

I believe healing and growth happen when we reconnect with the strengths and resilience already within us. My goal is to help you create more meaningful, secure, and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.

What Is It Like to Work With Me?

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, compassionate, and direct. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and engaged while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Therapy with me is active, relational, and emotionally focused. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe enough to explore difficult emotions, relationship patterns, and vulnerabilities without judgment.

Together, we work toward deeper awareness, healing, connection, and lasting change.

Take the Next Step

If you are ready to begin healing old patterns, deepening connection, and creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships, I would be honored to support you in that process.

You do not have to navigate this alone.

Support for Intimacy and Sexual Concerns

Sexual and emotional intimacy are deeply connected. Challenges related to intimacy often impact emotional safety, communication, trust, and self-esteem within relationships as well as within our relationship to ourselves.

As a Certified Sex Therapist, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for both individuals and couples to explore concerns related to desire discrepancies, emotional and sexual disconnection, sexual anxiety, shame, communication difficulties, intimacy challenges, infidelity recovery, and questions around identity, pleasure, and self-expression.

Whether working individually or within a relationship, my goal is to help clients develop a healthier, more connected, and fulfilling relationship with themselves, their sexuality, and their intimate relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many couples say they leave feeling more understood, more emotionally aware, and more connected to what’s actually happening beneath the conflict. Clients often report feeling supported, validated, and deeply understood. I also work to remain a steady, unbiased attachment figure for both partners, holding the best interest of the relationship at the center of the work. Clients have described me as insightful, empathetic, funny, and gentle 

  • My approach is primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based model that helps couples understand and shift the emotional cycles that drive disconnection. I also integrate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support deeper emotional processing, emotional regulation, and lasting relational change.

  • Absolutely. Infidelity and betrayal can deeply impact trust, emotional safety, and connection within a relationship. Marriage counseling can help couples process the pain, improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand the underlying relationship dynamics that contributed to disconnection.

  • Yes. I work with couples at all stages, including those on the brink of separation. When things feel this fragile, the focus is on creating enough emotional stability to understand what’s happening underneath the conflict and whether there is a path toward repair that both partners can genuinely commit to.

  • I work with a wide range of relational and sexual concerns, including communication challenges, conflict patterns, emotional disconnection, attachment injuries, betrayal of trust, betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse, infidelity and rebuilding trust, differences in desire, sexual dysfunction, sexual anxiety, and pain during sex. I also support couples navigating major life transitions, parenting stress, and moments of uncertainty about whether to stay together or separate.

  • Sex therapy addresses the emotional, psychological, relational, and physiological factors that shape sexual connection. This can include differences in desire, intimacy challenges such as erectile dysfunction, sexual anxiety, emotional disconnection, and pain during sex. The focus is on creating safety between partners that supports curiosity, desire, and deeper connection.

  • Weekly therapy offers a steady, ongoing space to slow things down and work through patterns over time, allowing change to build gradually and integrate into daily life. Intensives are longer, focused sessions held over a shorter period, allowing us to go deeper more quickly and create momentum when things feel stuck or complex. They can be especially helpful for infidelity, discernment work, or for those who can’t commit to weekly sessions due to schedules or parenting demands.

  • Couples therapy can bring relief, insight, and reconnection, but it can also bring up strong emotions as long-standing patterns become more visible. It’s not uncommon for things to feel more intense before they shift. We move at a pace that supports both emotional safety and meaningful, sustainable change.

  • If you and your partner are struggling with communication, trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, or recurring conflict, relationship counseling can help you better understand unhealthy patterns and improve your connection.

    Therapy provides a supportive space to strengthen communication, rebuild emotional closeness, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.

  • That’s actually more common than you might think. You’re absolutely welcome to begin on your own. When one person starts to shift, it often creates meaningful changes in the relationship dynamic, and sometimes that naturally opens the door for the other partner to join later.

  • We don’t bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to receive reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits using the superbills we provide. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what your plan may cover. If you’d prefer a more hands-off option, you can also work with Mentaya. They handle the reimbursement process for you for a small fee of 5%.

  • Yes, confidentiality is a core part of therapy. What you share is private, with a few legal exceptions such as situations involving risk of harm to yourself or others. These limits will always be explained clearly so there are no surprises. Please feel free to ask your therapist at any time if you have questions or would like more clarity around confidentiality.
