I use the How We Love framework to help clients recognize the formative experiences and core beliefs underlying their relational patterns, understand the cycles that keep them stuck, and develop healthier ways of connecting. My approach emphasizes emotional awareness, personal responsibility, empathy, healthy boundaries, relational repair, and practical tools for building secure, loving relationships.
