We aren’t meant to do this thing alone.
People come to therapy because something feels off. Maybe you feel lost or stuck or sh*t has hit the fan. You might not know why you feel this emotional pain. It can be difficult to identify the underlying source on your own.
Therapy provides you with a space to slow down and turn inward, providing you with experiences, tools, and insight to make meaningful changes in your life.

Individual Therapy
You are ambitious and high achieving to the outside world, but inside you are struggling. Growing up, you likely felt the need to be perfect and easygoing, hiding your authentic self.
After years of pushing down your pain or trauma, you’re now facing anxiety, depression, mysterious bodily issues, or a general sense of feeling off. You may be used to pushing through, taking care of others, or holding it all together, even when you are exhausted.
Individual therapy can support you in creating a life that feels more aligned and peaceful. Together we’ll slowly untangle your inner world and develop new skills to help you learn how to feel grounded, connected, and safe in your body. Through our work together, you’ll practice and learn how to:
Identify and process your trauma patterns driving overwork & anxiety so you can access clarity.
Break self-sabotaging cycles to create relationships that feel safe.
Regulate your nervous system to cultivate balance.
Understand the mind-body connection behind stress & body-based symptoms to reduce discomfort.
Build inner emotional safety so downtime feels comfortable instead of anxiety-producing.
Reconnect with your intuition to make choices from authenticity instead of from fear or obligation.
Work with your dreams & nightmares to uncover wisdom you can utilize in your day to day life.
Couples Therapy
You are in a relationship that feels stuck in a cycle of communication breakdowns that leave you both feeling exhausted and unsure of where to turn next. You may find yourselves having the same argument over and over, struggling to communicate without things escalating, or feeling emotionally distant and lonely.
For some couples, trust has been shattered by infidelity, betrayal, or broken agreements. For others, major life transitions, like marriage, having a baby, pregnancy loss, career changes, or shifting roles, have brought problems that feel impossible to overcome. You love each other but there is both history and hurt getting in the way of your connection.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) is an evidence based modality to help couples identify and find their way out of painful negative cycles. This is a highly effective approach to help even the most distressed couples rebuild a secure emotional and sexual connection. Through our work together, you’ll practice and learn how to:
Map your conflict cycle to prevent future escalation.
Communicate clearly & compassionately during conflict to increase trust.
Develop tools to regulate individually and together to reset when triggered.
Rebuild trust after distance or betrayal to improve connection.
Balance ambition with emotional presence to improve intimacy.
Heal relationship patterns rooted in overwork or avoidance to repair trust.
Strengthen intimacy through vulnerability & curiosity to deepen the love.
Dreamwork
Here we work with your dreams, yes, the ones you have every night. Why?
Dreams provide a direct line into the depths of your unconscious. Rather than seeing dreams as nonsensical, random, or something to “figure out,” I use a Jungian approach, which treats dreams as meaningful messages from your unconscious that speaks in images, metaphors, and symbols.
Dreams often get to the truth of the matter before you’re consciously aware of it. Nightmares are signs pointing toward something inside of you asking for attention, safety, or repair.
Instead of analyzing or asking what the dream means, we ask the dream: Who is here? What is happening?
Staying curious helps you build a relationship with the inner figures in your dream world. Dreamwork can be especially supportive for both individuals and couples feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to make sense of what you’re feeling. By tending to dreams with curiosity and compassion, we allow deeper insight, healing, & integration to unfold in unexpected ways.

Dreamwork FAQs
-
Dreamwork isn’t about looking up symbols in dictionaries or “decoding” your dreams. We listen to what the dream feels like and what it might be trying to show you, rather than telling you what it means.

That’s okay! We’ll begin by creating a ritual and dedicated space to aid in dream retention. We’ll discuss different methods of recording dreams that work best for you.

Yes, couples often find that sharing and exploring dreams together helps them understand each other more deeply and see patterns in how they relate.
Dreams can reveal unspoken feelings, fears, or hopes that show up in your day-to-day interactions. The process of sharing a dream with your partner is vulnerable, which helps build intimacy and trust.

Dreams often point to things you haven’t fully processed or questions you’re living with. Starting a dream tending practice helps you notice shifts and patterns in your dream life, which creates meaningful changes you can apply in your waking life.

Nightmares aren’t “bad.” However, they get our attention. They’re often messages from your inner world guiding you toward what feels unsafe, unresolved, or overwhelming. When we tend to nightmares with curiosity and care, we can understand what your psyche is asking for.
