Why do I feel so responsible for everyone else's feelings and struggle to set boundaries without guilt?

Feeling responsible for others' emotions and experiencing guilt when setting boundaries are common signs of caretaking protective parts and relational boundary burnout. Individual therapy integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps unburden these parts, regulate anxiety, and set healthy boundaries from a grounded Self.

Why do I overthink conversations, text messages, and worry people are upset with me?

Overthinking interactions and fearing you made a mistake are common manifestations of high-functioning relational anxiety and hypervigilant manager parts. Combining IFS parts work with attachment-based therapy helps quiet the mental chatter and build internal security.

How does Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) help couples stuck in recurring arguments?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Imago Relationship Therapy help couples slow down recurring conflict loops, identify the underlying pursuer-distancer dynamic, and re-establish emotional safety so arguments can actually be resolved.

How do you help couples rebuild trust after betrayal, lying, or broken promises?

Rebuilding trust after betrayal uses structured frameworks like the Gottman At-Atonement, Attunement, and Attach (AAA) model alongside Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to process deep hurt, establish full transparency, and safely repair emotional safety step-by-step.

Do you offer couples therapy for open relationships, polyamory, or consensual non-monogamy?

Yes, we provide relationship-focused therapy for partners navigating open relationships, polyamory, and consensual non-monogamy. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment frameworks, we help partners manage jealousy, establish clear boundaries, and maintain a secure core bond.

Do you offer couples therapy for neurodiverse and neurotypical relationships (ADHD, Autism)?

Yes, we specialize in relationship therapy for neurodiverse couples (including ADHD, Autism, and neurotypical partners). Using neuro-affirming Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and adapted Gottman Method frameworks, we help couples break the parent-child dynamic, navigate executive function gaps, and build mutual emotional attunement.

How does family therapy help with escalating arguments and communication breakdown?

Family therapy uses Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to slow down reactive argument cycles, reduce defensiveness, and help family members communicate underlying needs without escalating into conflict.

Do you offer family counseling for blended families, stepparenting, and boundary shifts?

Yes, we specialize in family therapy for blended families and step-parenting dynamics, helping family members clarify roles, navigate loyalty conflicts, and establish healthy relational boundaries.

How can family therapy help bridge the distance between parents and teenagers?

Family therapy addresses parent-teen communication gaps by balancing the teenager's need for autonomy with emotional safety, helping parents break the pursuit-withdrawal cycle and rebuild genuine connection.

About therapist

I grew up in a blended household from an early age. My parents were divorced when I was four and my mom remarried by the time I was 6. We would later form a unit of eight children: 3 full-blooded siblings, 1 step-sister, and three half-sisters.

I had both youngest and eldest child syndrome depending on the environment. To my eldest siblings I was the “drama queen”, overly emotional, and favored. To my younger sisters I was their protector, their advocate, and someone they looked up to. It was my own lived experiences that led me to the helping profession.

Before I was a relationship therapist, I earned my degree in Music Therapy. The creative arts were what supported me emotionally throughout my life and the concept of helping through that lens was incredibly appealing.

I spent over seven years working full-time as a board-certified music therapist; five of those were at a hospital that provided inpatient and outpatient services.

I loved my work in community mental health. It was rewarding, exhausting, joyous, powerful, frustrating, and much more. It was my patients, and my own experiences in a blended family that showed me the true impact families and systems have on an individuals ability to function.

I started my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and never looked back. Today, I am incorporating my training in music therapy, which highlights the importance of somatic experiences in trauma and therapeutic work, and in systems work, to help individuals, couples, and families in my community become the most curious, self-aware, compassionate people they can be.

my lens as a therapist

I believe…

✿Relationships make up who we are as individuals

✿To see real, lasting change, we have to look at the systems in our lives and their impact

✿The therapeutic relationship is the backbone of successful therapy

✿Therapy won’t work if you don’t let it

✿The key to progress is understanding one’s context, not content

✿Laughter, honesty, and authenticty are integral parts of the therapeutic work
