My Approach

I integrate leading therapeutic models, rooted in systems and attachment theories, to support deeper understand, connection, and healing, including:

Gottman Method Couples Therapy – Strengthen friendship, manage conflict, and build shared meaning.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Understand the patterned responses that develop in relationship and shape emotional responses and foster secure bonds.

“Here we finally find someone we really love and then the most difficult things start emerging - fear, distrust, unlove, disillusion, resentment, blame, confusion. Yet this is a form of love's grace - that it brings our wounds and defenses forward into the light. For love can only heal what presents itself to be healed. If our woundedness remains hidden, it cannot be healed. The best in us cannot come out until the worst comes out.”
