Frog Point Therapy specializes in curating a highly individualized treatment experience by combining classic western psychotherapeutic approaches, eastern wisdom traditions, and the most modern research on human development. The desire to know oneself and the world around us, have agency and feel content are fundamental human wishes. We traverse stages of awareness over time. Some of these shifts happen naturally but we often must work to transcend these stages. We may get stuck in one stage or another because of rigidity, trauma, addiction, or depression. We specialize in facilitating our client’s next major upshift in development.

In my work with individuals and couples , I support clients through stressors that arise, and assist them in tapping into their internal resources and self-discovery to navigate through these challenging times. I create a safe and supportive environment to work with clients to heal relational wounds, foster understanding, create closeness, and support each other through change and growth.

I believe that our relationship is a partnership and that my role is to get a better understanding of how you approach life and how that approach either helps or hinders what you want. It is my experience in working with clients that all behaviors, thoughts and feelings are rational given past experience. Challenges in relationships and well-being are often developed when previously effective behaviors are no longer helpful in a new environment or under a new set of experiences.
