Couples/Relationship Counseling - Clients that like my style seek therapy mostly for anxiety or depression that comes from the feeling that life lacks purpose, feels stuck, or stale; especially during times of heartache, misunderstanding, break-ups, or even death. Many useful moments, crucial moments, can arise at the end of something - unresolved past hurts, spiritual dilemmas, a sudden urgency and passion for figuring out "why we're here" - understanding them and integrating them is what I offer. Closing the old stuff up well means new, exciting beginnings are possible...often in the same relationship!

As a psychotherapist, I work to create a warm and safe environment where it is possible for you to be seen and understood. In my work I combine insight oriented talking therapy, with more cutting edge Somatic and Energy therapies. I will help you explore your beliefs and unconscious/habitual responses that are born from your original relationships. In exploring the positive and negative ways in which these beliefs and responses play out in your interpersonal relationships, you will understand yourself in new ways. It is out of this context that healing can take place.

As a cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help teens and young adults uncover their true potential and lead lives that are more enjoyable, peaceful and worth celebrating. Although I see a range of issues in my practice, I specialize in treating teens who have intense difficulty managing strong or dangerous feelings. I offer parenting support to help improve the often strained relationships within the family. In addition, I work with young adults to help negotiate the challenges that present during this transitional time such as college wellness, independence, personal identity and life goals.
