Feeling stuck in your relationship or the same misunderstanding over and over? I can help you get unstuck from frustrating patterns, and move forward in your relationship(s) in ways that work for you. I regularly help people fix their communication patterns, build or repair secure connections, improve self-worth, and heal self-trust. I also have expertise in evidence-based treatments for sexual difficulties including low sexual desire, performance issues, sexual trauma, and shame.
I specialize in Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the leading evidence-based therapy for couple and relationship difficulties. I also have extensive expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and other well established sex therapies (e.g., sensate focus).
My style is empathic, direct, transparent, and humorous. I care deeply about getting to know you, and prioritize respect for your unique needs, values, and personal history. Therapy with me will feel safe, non-shaming, supportive, and as fun as we can make it. Reach out today to see if we're a fit!
