Walk and Talk Sessions in Coronado & Telehealth
You may find yourself feeling stuck in painful relational patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you are navigating life transitions, tension in your marriage, or patterns you want to understand more clearly. More than coping, you want growth, healthier relationships, steadiness, and a stronger sense of self.
I provide relational, systems-informed therapy for individuals, couples, and families. My clinical work is rooted in attachment-based and trauma-informed frameworks, with particular interest in relational rupture, trust repair, emotional regulation, and life transitions that impact your sense of self. I regularly support couples navigating communication breakdown and rebuilding connection.
My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and collaborative. I meet clients where they are emotionally and integrate modalities such as The Gottman Method, attachment theory, psychodynamic insight, and mindfulness-based interventions based on each person’s unique needs. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, build awareness, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
Reaching out takes courage. If something in you is ready for clarity and connection, I would be honored to support you.
