About My Clients

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious about their inner lives, and who are facing challenges such as major life transitions, relationship issues, creative challenges, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also work with other dyads, such as mothers and daughters.

My Background and Approach

My approach to treatment is warm, casual, and eclectic. Therapy is a space to be curious and challenged without judgment. I hope to engage you in an exploratory process to get to the root of what has been troubling you. People often find themselves caught in longstanding (and unconscious) patterns that show up in many areas of their lives. By working together to identify what these patterns are and how they do (or don't) serve you, we can create more space in your life for freedom and choice to live as you desire. When I work with couples, I also draw from modalities designed specifically for couples, such as emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. In couples therapy, we will work together to untangle the cycle you and your partner are stuck in, and cultivate a way of relating and being together that is empathic, present, and emotionally connected.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Good therapy is most of all about a good fit between you and your therapist. I believe you can best gauge our fit by meeting with me, and so I offer a free 15-minute consultation for you to get a feel for how I work, and to bring forth your questions and concerns. I look forward to getting started!
