Psychotherapy is the art of tending to your inner landscape, listening closely below the surface, and shifting troubling patterns. As we explore your inner voices, creative impulses, bodily sensations, and dreams, we will forge a path out of psychological suffering towards more connection and aliveness.
From your most shame inducing symptoms to your greatest strengths--every part of you belongs here. Relationships shape who we are in the world and what we expect of others and ourselves. We will pay close attention to your relationship tendencies as well as our relationship, because what comes up for you "out there" in your life is likely to come up between us as well. With support, you can emerge from the negative imprinting of past experiences, becoming more of who you really are.

Individual Therapy
Individuals often enter my practice when they find themselves at a crossroads in their lives, needing to make a change. Despite having achieved some degree of success, you may be struggling and feeling depleted by a combination of internal emotional patterns and external circumstances that feel beyond your control. My training and experience help me recognize internal patterns that need to shift. Whether you are facing a brutal inner critic, difficulty in relationships, career struggles, identity conflicts, grief around childhood abuse, or self-medicating with alcohol or food--our strong therapeutic alliance can bring immense relief and fertilize the ground for change. |
Couples/Relationship Therapy
Partners frequently enter my practice when the accumulated battle wounds and emotional scars between them are preventing the kind of closeness they desire. Others come proactively, wanting to become more knowledgeable and secure in their relationship before launching into a deeper commitment or starting a family. Communication difficulties, stifled sex lives, a sense of deadness in the relationship, mismatched inner development, power differentials, parenting or cultural conflicts and infidelity can push relationships to either grow together or apart. Therapy is a place where we can heal buried resentments, get curious about dynamics and cycles of conflict, learn new ways to rekindle desire, experiment with behaviors that lead to secure functioning, and sometimes choose to lovingly part ways. I'm an LGBTQ, poly and kink aware therapist and create an affirming space for all relationships. |
