You're trying to build relationships that don't fit the script you were handed - a close friendship, a romantic connection, a change in the way your family relates. Maybe you're queer, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous (ENM), or just done performing a version of yourself that isn't true. Showing up for yourself and others is hard work. I work with individuals and relationships - romantic, friendship, and family - who want connection that goes beyond convention. Together, we look at the patterns keeping you stuck, and build bonds that are meant to last.
I'm an associate marriage and family therapist under the supervision of Michaela Decker, LMFT-15137. With couples and families, I draw on emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to reshape the patterns you're stuck in. With individuals, my training in EFIT helps you map and gain control over the cycle keeping you from showing up as your best self.
You've spent a long time figuring out which parts of yourself are safe to show and which you keep quiet - the needs, the desires, the truths that didn't fit. You don't have to do that here. This is a space to show up as you actually are. If you're ready to exist authentically and build relationships that fit the real you, I'd love to talk with you.
