Relationships heal in relationship.

My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based, attachment-centered approach, considered the "the gold standard" for relationship therapy. Rather than focusing solely on communication skills, EFT works at the emotional level—where disconnection, protection, and longing live—so that lasting change can occur.

From the beginning of my career, I’ve been drawn to attachment science and the question of what helps people feel safe, seen, and connected. I’ve had the privilege of applying this lens across diverse settings—from supporting mothers and children navigating addiction and early trauma, to working with youth in school systems, to now specializing in couples and relationship therapy.

Prior to full time private practice, I spent significant time in the New Orleans school system, where I got to play a role in designing and leading a therapeutic alternative school for Orleans Parish, based on a model centered on the belief that behavior makes sense in the context of relationship and nervous system experience. In that work, I developed deep expertise in restorative practices—learning how to stay with conflict, de-escalate reactivity, and repair relational ruptures in ways that preserve dignity and connection.

That foundation continues to shape how I work today. When partners are stuck in cycles of blame, withdrawal, or escalation, I help slow the process down, make sense of each person’s emotional experience, and guide them toward new interactions that foster safety and responsiveness.

In addition to my clinical work, I am a qualified mediator in the state of Louisiana, strengthening my ability to help couples and families navigate high-conflict moments with structure and clarity.

I also bring advanced training in somatic embodiment-based approaches. Because emotional experience lives in the body, I help clients track and regulate their nervous systems in real time—supporting deeper emotional access, reducing overwhelm, and making new relational experiences feel more possible and sustainable.

Whether you’re coming in as an individual, a couple, or a family, our work will focus on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck—not as personal failures, but as protective strategies that once made sense. We’ll create new experiences of connection, clarity, and responsiveness—so you can move forward in a way that feels more secure, grounded, and connected.
