My Approach
Where Science meets soul, and strategy meets self-inquiry
This work is both structured and soulful. It draws from evidence-based methods and deep psychological traditions but it always comes back to one question:
Are you willing to see yourself, and relate from that place of truth?
I integrate several therapeutic frameworks in a way that’s customized, intuitive, and relationally attuned:
Relational Repair Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I use EFT to help couples and individuals understand the attachment wounds beneath their conflicts. This method helps uncover the longing beneath the criticism and supports people in creating safer emotional bonds through vulnerability, not control.
Practical Tools from the Gottman Method
Research-backed strategies meet relational wisdom here. From conflict de-escalation to rebuilding trust, I use Gottman-informed tools to help couples communicate with clarity, respect, and emotional presence not just rehearse the same fights with new vocabulary.
Shadow Integration through Jungian Psychology
Many of our deepest patterns are unconscious. I draw from Jungian principles to help clients explore their “shadow”: the disowned parts of self that often drive behavior from underneath. This includes dreamwork, symbol interpretation, and embracing the psyche’s language of metaphor.
Systems Thinking for Personal and Relational Change
No one grows in isolation.
Whether in couples or individual work, I use Systems Theory to help clients see how they are part of a larger pattern and how changing their own behavior can begin shifting the whole.
Emotional Intelligence as Compass and Mirror
Emotions are not irrational: they’re information.
Using EQ assessments and tools, I help clients identify their emotional blind spots and build capacity in areas like empathy, regulation, boundary-setting, and assertiveness. This creates relational maturity, not just insight.
Spiritual Grounding and Energetic Integrity
I believe in sacred space. In every session, I hold a field that honors not just the mind and emotions, but also the soul’s clarity and the body’s wisdom. I bring presence, intuitive reflection, and energetic discernment to guide the process without ever overriding your sovereignty.
This is not a place to be rescued.
It’s a place to be reflected, respected, and radically honest so that real, lasting transformation can occur.
