đź’¬ Couple Therapy & Relationship Counseling: Rebuilding Connection, Together
Every relationship faces challenges—but with commitment, empathy, and intentional skill-building, those challenges can become catalysts for deeper connection. In couples therapy, I create a safe and inclusive space for partners to explore relational dynamics, heal emotional wounds, and deepen connection.
In my couples therapy practice, I draw on Gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness, and subconscious exploration to support relational healing and growth. This integrative approach helps partners become more present with themselves and each other, while uncovering the emotional patterns, beliefs, and unresolved dynamics that shape their interactions.
Gestalt principles guide the process of bringing fragmented relational experiences into awareness, fostering authenticity and emotional integration. CBT offers structure to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and communication habits, promoting clarity and intentional connection. Mindfulness cultivates compassionate attention to emotional triggers and bodily responses, allowing couples to engage with each moment more consciously. Through imagery, dialogue, and creative techniques, deeper layers of the subconscious can be accessed—revealing unmet needs, suppressed emotions, and relational wounds that influence the partnership.
This multidimensional process can support couples in moving beyond reactive cycles, deepening emotional intimacy, and co-creating a relationship rooted in awareness, empathy, and mutual growth.

🌱 Building a Strong Foundation of Self-Worth: Reconnecting with Your Inner Value
Self-worth is the quiet confidence that we matter—not because of what we achieve or how others perceive us, but simply because we exist. Yet life experiences, relationships, and internalized messages can erode this foundation. In our work together, we gently rebuild it—brick by brick—with compassion, clarity, and intention.
Drawing on techniques from CBT, mindfulness, and identity-focused dialogue, I support clients:
- Identify & Reframe Limiting Beliefs
Recognize the unconscious thoughts and narratives that undermine self-worth, and learn to replace them with empowering, realistic affirmations. - Cultivate Daily Self-Compassion
Develop practical, consciousness-based strategies to treat yourself with kindness—even in moments of doubt, failure, or frustration. - Strengthen Assertiveness & Boundaries
Build confidence in expressing your needs, saying “no” without guilt, and creating relationships grounded in mutual respect. - Deepen Personal Identity & Authenticity
Explore what makes you you—beyond roles or expectations—and begin showing up in life aligned with your values and voice. - Develop Sustainable Self-Care RoutineÂ
Create restorative practices that support emotional balance and reflect your unique rhythm and lifestyle.
Self-worth isn’t something to earn—it’s an inner flame that quietly sustains and warms every aspect of life. In the therapeutic space I hold, that flame is gently nurtured through presence, reflection, and compassionate inquiry. Together, we explore the beliefs, experiences, and emotional imprints that may have dimmed its light. As awareness deepens, self-worth can be reclaimed—not as performance, but as a grounded sense of being that fosters inner peace, resilience, and authentic living.
🌙 Sleep Disorder Therapy: Restoring Rest, Reclaiming Rhythm
Sleep is not a luxury—it’s a foundational pillar of mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. When restful sleep becomes elusive, its absence can ripple through every corner of life, disrupting mood, memory, concentration, and overall vitality. In my therapeutic work, I approach sleep challenges with depth, compassion, and a holistic lens—addressing the psychological, physiological, and subconscious factors that may be contributing to sleep disturbances. Whether through mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, nervous system regulation, or emotional processing, the goal is to restore a sense of safety and rhythm that supports restorative rest.

🧠 Cognitive challenges can shape how we think, relate, and move through the world—but with the right support, growth is always possible. Whether navigating thought disorders, memory concerns, or executive functioning difficulties, CBT and integrative therapeutic strategies can help build insight, strengthen coping skills, and improve daily functioning.

Trauma leaves invisible scars—and sometimes visible ones too. Whether you’re facing the lingering effects of childhood adversity, a single life-altering event, or cumulative stress from frontline service, our work together centers on reconnecting you with safety, strength, and self-trust.
Using an integrative approach grounded in Gestalt therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Experiencing, I support recovery on emotional, cognitive, and psychological levels.

Anger is a natural emotion—often signaling hurt, injustice, or unmet needs.
