About My Clients
I specialize in helping couples who feel disconnected learn to communicate from the heart, understand each other’s needs, and rebuild trust and love. Together we practice emotional attunement, and identify the cycles of pain that keep you at odds. I help foster new emotional experiences that promote lasting connection. I love to work with couples as well as individuals struggling in their relationships, whether it be romantic, familial, work-related, or friendships.
My Background and Approach
I practice through the lens of Attachment Theory and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, meaning we'll look to formative experiences and relationships to bring awareness to defenses and unmet needs. I am direct and engaging to work with, which is why I like working with couples. It is often more fast paced and exciting to see the connection strengthen quickly. I believe in the healing power of secure relationships and always bring myself into the mix in order to illuminate the experience of relating together. To be emotionally witnessed and held by both a therapist and your partner at the same time is exponentially healing. As engaging as I may be, I am also trauma informed and careful to create safety and listen for the specific needs of each person and couple to feel completely safe in order to express themselves and be vulnerable. I am down to earth and know how to bring in humor when necessary to create a comfortable environment to explore the very scary and uncomfortable parts of life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I practice from a deeply humanistic and socially aware lens. I honor the dignity, diversity, and lived experiences of every person, and I recognize the enduring impact of racism and structural harm in our communities. My work is rooted in equality, repair, and the belief that everyone deserves safety, respect, and the opportunity to thrive. I affirm and celebrate LGBTQ+ identities and relationships. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to authentic human connection, compassion, and a sense of our shared belonging; to one another, to the earth, and to the greater energy that holds us.
