Maybe you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck. I work with people to find a more clear and flexible way forward. By listening deeply to your experience, tending to your pain and offering curiosity to places of stuckness, therapy provides an opportunity for you to strengthen your connection to yourself, others and your inner world. My ultimate hope is for you to grow more deeply into yourself and lead a life that feels more "alive."
I am a PACT Level One Trained Couples therapist and work well with couples who have a lot of care, but would like to move towards a more enjoyable, steady and secure connection.
As a radically candid and deeply human practitioner, I strive to offer collaboration and attuned exploration rather than quick solutions to the complex issues that bring you to therapy. I work from a relational psychodynamic stance that views relationship as the avenue for tending to the wounds and stories we carry. Our connection is an asset to the process.
Pursuing change is a brave task. If you've found resonance on my page or feel any questions stirring within you, I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like to set up a consultation call or initial session, please email me directly. You can also use the contact form on my website.
