Our relationships shape everything – how we love, how we trust, and how we feel at home in ourselves. This is the heart of my work.
Most people come to me because something in their relationship isn't working the way they want it to. They find themselves stuck in the same place. And, insight alone usually isn't enough to create real, lasting change.
I help individuals and couples go beneath the surface and into the emotional patterns, past experiences, and unresolved trauma that continue to shape how they connect, protect, and reach for closeness or pull away.
THIS IS Where the DEEPER work begins
So, what can you expect from me?
Some are high-achieving professionals – smart, conscientious and struggling with chronic stress. anxiety, or depression.
Some are dealing with infidelity, contemplating separation or divorce, or just craving more connection and intimacy in their lives.
Some are carrying trauma from their past that shapes how they love, how they trust, and who they let in.
Others have been in therapy before and are ready for an approach that goes deeper than traditional talk therapy.
Am I the right therapist to help
Here’s what I can tell you about the clients I serve…
you?
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with a dual specialization in relationship and trauma therapy.
My approach is relational to its core. I pay close attention to what's happening between people and within them–emotionally, somatically, and in the ways people reach for closeness or pull away. The goal is not insight alone, but change that is felt, embodied, and lasting.
Therapy with me is collaborative, active, and deeply attuned. Clients often tell me they feel both held and challenged. The work is warm, but it's also honest. I don't rush the process and I don't stay on the surface.
Relational Therapist & trauma specialist
Hello, I'm Eve.
My role is to help You connect more deeply with yourself and others so you can genuinely smile when you look in the mirror, find peace when you lay down at night, and feel love and safety when grasp your partner's hand.
MY APPROACH
I embrace a collaborative style, rather than a directive or passive approach. Therapy is a partnership where your voice matters, fostering open dialogue and mutual decision-making for a personalized therapeutic experience.
COLLABORATIVE
When you work with me, we’ll aim for lasting results…not just a temporary fix.
Our bodies are powerful storytellers, holding narratives and emotions that words alone may not fully express. By tracking bodily sensations, we tap into the rich source of wisdom carried within the body, allowing for a deeper exploration and resolution of emotional and mental challenges.
Somatic-based
Attachment theory is foundational to my work with individuals and couples. By exploring early caregiver bonds and the evolution of one's attachment style, we create a roadmap for building secure, supportive, and emotionally fulfilling relationships.
Attachment-based
I believe that meaningful change emerges from the profound connection with and acceptance of our emotional experiences. Rather than intellectually talking about feelings, we actively engage with them, creating a dynamic space for exploring, understanding, and embracing emotions.
