About

Professional History

For over fifteen years, I have worked at the intersection of attachment, trauma, and emotional regulation — helping adults and couples make sense of patterns that feel larger than logic. Most people do not struggle because they lack insight. They struggle because their nervous systems are carrying histories that were never fully understood.

 

My work centers on the capacity to hold complexity without collapsing into blame, shutdown, or reactivity. I help clients slow down enough to see the emotional architecture beneath their conflicts — the longings, fears, and protective strategies that quietly shape their relationships.

 

Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed approaches, I work with both the body and the story. Insight matters. But connection changes things. When we can remain steady in the presence of intensity, new patterns become possible.

 

Clients who seek me out are often capable, self-aware, and ready for depth. They are not looking for surface reassurance. They want clarity, coherence, and meaningful connection — with themselves and with the people they love.
