Are you finding yourself feeling overwhelmed by emotion or seeking out ways to numb yourself? Relationships might make you feel alone or isolated and seeking connections that bring comfort and happiness. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, your inner strengths, resiliency, and capacity for deep joy and meaning. It can feel liberating to work through difficult issues and feel more alive in the here and now. Even in times of great stress and uncertainty, therapy can help build on your unique strengths and resources, to feel more empowered and connected to others and community.
I specialize in working with relationship patterns in couples and individuals. My perspective prioritizes your unique goals, using a non-judgmental, anti-oppression lens. I see the therapy relationship itself as a powerful tool in supporting you to get more of what you want and need for yourself and within your relationships.
It can feel vulnerable reaching out to find the right therapist. Having a connection and feeling deeply heard in therapy is important for its success. I love talking about the process of therapy itself to make our relationship stronger and to enhance and deepen our work together.

I believe your relationship with your therapist is the most important part of the work. There are different approaches we can use that include internal family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and self-compassion practice. Using different treatment types or lenses on what's happening will help you to change in the ways you want.
