I specialize in helping couples, families, and other kinds of relationships repair after ruptures, find harmony, and figure out how to make sustainable, enjoyable changes in their lives. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and family dynamics (such as parent-adult children and adult sibling relationships). I help folks get unstuck by identifying unhelpful patterns, exploring stuckness, and helping people learn new ways of connecting to one another.
My clinical lens is systemic, which means that I am uniquely trained to acknowledge the multitude of complex layers and dynamics inherent to every identity, individual, and by extension, relationship. I offer realistic feedback and gentle challenges from a non-judgemental, intersectional, and collaborative place.
Starting the search for a therapist is a hard part of the process. I hope to make that process easier by offering a consultation so we can say hi and get acquainted. Trust, authenticity, and shared commitment are important components of a solid therapeutic alliance and I believe all of that that starts with a intro video call. Reach out with any questions!
