I work with individuals and couples on a wide range of issues including managing emotions, negative patterns, interpersonal concerns, self-esteem and self-growth, and moving from 'surviving to thriving.' I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and work with all relationship types and structures (including ENM). I do not believe people need to be ‘fixed.’ Instead, I believe that any unhelpful coping strategies were developed for a reason—though that reason may no longer exist, and the strategy may no longer be helpful.
I offer individual and couples therapy (primarily using the Gottman Method with couples) and combine evidence-based approaches to fit each person's unique needs and situation. I am culturally sensitive and have a deep understanding of the ways culture shapes people, and the importance of each person's context to their identity.
I work collaboratively with clients and hold the philosophy that each person has the richest understanding of themselves. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can embark on an (exciting, sometimes scary, always worthwhile) expedition to be the version of yourself that you like most of all.
