Welcome to Empowered Connections
INDIVIDUALS
FAMILIES

Do you feel isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure how to manage the emotional chaos in your life?
Whether it's navigating complex family dynamics, understanding your child’s unique needs, or building safer, more secure relationships, you’ve come to the right place.
WHO I WORK WITH
Individuals
Intellectualizers & High Achievers
If you tend to think through your emotions instead of feeling them, we’ll work together to cultivate vulnerability and emotional expression.
Families
Parents & Families
Struggling to connect with your children or partner? I support parents with children who have autism, ADHD, or are adopted, helping you build a more predictable, nurturing relationship in the face of challenges.
Adult Siblings
I help siblings reconnect and navigate the complexities of adult relationships.
Families Navigating Chaos
Whether you’re managing conflict, dealing with emotional immaturity, or stuck in cycles of shame, I provide a compassionate space for you to grow and heal.

ABOUT ME
Helping families, couples, and individuals create stronger, healthier relationships
I specialize in attachment-based therapy, focusing on helping families, couples, and individuals create stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, build emotional safety, and help you establish healthy boundaries across the lifespan.
I believe the struggles we face are not just personal but a reflection of the world around us. I’m here to help you externalize the oppression you’ve internalized and create a safe space where your authenticity can show up. My work is all about meeting you where you are, supporting you in breaking the cycles of generational trauma, and helping you heal with intention.
I’m a feminist, trauma-informed therapist who brings values into the therapy room. I’m not a blank slate—I stand by principles of social justice and liberation psychology, and I won’t shy away from calling out systemic oppression, whether it’s white supremacy, capitalism, or other structures that contribute to burnout and exploitation.
