My journey into the world of relationships has been profoundly transformative. Years ago, I found myself googling “why is intimacy so hard” while struggling to create and maintain a lasting intimate partnership, despite the fact that creating and keeping friendships came easily. I then discovered Jayson Gaddis’s work. The insights and tools I gained from this work was so impactful for me that I felt deeply called to train in their methods and share this transformative knowledge with others.

My curiosity about what makes us tick, combined with my desire to help individuals to show up as their most authentic selves in their relationships, has led me to be here with you. With a degree in Psychology, I combine my academic background with the practical coaching techniques I learned in The Relationship School’s robust training to support individuals in deepening their connections with themselves and in their closest relationships.

My focus areas include:

1. **Identifying and Expressing Needs:** I help clients identify and articulate their needs compassionately, fostering effective communication that nurtures intimacy.
2. **Building Self-Esteem:** I work with individuals to understand how their self-esteem impacts relationship dynamics. By cultivating self-worth, clients can engage more authentically and confidently in their relationships.
3. **Emotional Openness:** Many people struggle with feelings of being emotionally jammed or closed off. I guide clients in exploring and expressing their emotions, helping them feel more alive and connected to their partners.
4. **Setting Boundaries:** I support clients in establishing and communicating boundaries that honor their needs while fostering connection.
5. **Challenging Limiting Stories:** I gently challenge clients to examine and reframe stories that no longer serve them, encouraging growth and transformation in their relationships.

My goal is to provide a safe space for exploring relationship challenges so you can feel empowered to confront them and initiate meaningful change. I look forward to joining forces with you on your relational journey!
