I was introduced to EFCT in 2020 by my dear friend and mentor. This inspired me to attend formal training, and I quickly fell in love with the approach. It aligned perfectly with my views and beliefs about love and people. Since then, I have witnessed the transformational impact on many couples, as well as on my own relationships.

I have advanced training in EFCT and am currently pursuing certification, which reflects my commitment and passion for the field.

I offer a safe space where couples can explore their deepest hurts without judgment and the hope of achieving profound change together.
