I understand the piercing pain and trauma that stems from sexual or emotional betrayal. Infidelity leaves you feeling wholly disoriented. Reconstituting yourself in the wake of an affair takes support. Effective therapy provides relief for couples and individuals. I work with clients around other major life changes: Divorce, aging, and career transitions. Also, I work with young adults, as well as parents, confronted by the task of individuation and boundary setting. Psychotherapy with a trusted therapist offers relief from the natural, human difficulties that inevitably arise for each of us over the course of a lifetime.
My approach to psychotherapy is relational and somatic. Through our relationship, we can explore the patterns and habits which you bring to all of your other relationships. Together we will think about the source of your distress and ways to reach greater equanimity. People of all ages, identities and backgrounds are very welcome.
Please call me for a free 20 minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. We will talk about what you're hoping for in therapy, how we might work together and any questions you have. I very much look forward to speaking with you.

I appreciate therapy based on psychodynamic principles and, in particular, an attachment orientation. In our sessions, we will look at the challenges that brought you to therapy. At the same time, we will explore your earliest relationships and experiences with an eye toward understanding how they may be showing up for you now in a way which is holding you back from greater satisfaction.
