For most of us, especially in the context of romantic relationships, we have things that have happened in our past that influence how we are responding to challenges in the present. These past events do not need to be especially traumatic in order to have an impact. I work with individuals and couples on identifying unhelpful patterns occurring in their present-day lives, help them gain a better understanding of where these patterns started, and - most importantly - I provide actual, meaningful ways to change these unhelpful patterns so that clients can live less chaotic, more meaningful lives.
I take a directive approach to therapy - meaning sessions are more conversational, purposeful, and aimed at taking active steps towards your goals. This is expansive, at times challenging work. My aim is to bring as much levity and enjoyment to the process as possible.
If you are feeling shaken, unsure, or out of control - know that you are not alone and that change is possible. It is never too late to take positive steps towards a healthier, more enjoyable life.

I am a directive therapist - no hour-long sessions of silences and "How do you feel about that?". I aim for you to walk away from the first session with tools to implement and hope for recovery and improvements. For couples, our first two sessions are a deep-dive into the patterns going on in your relationship - but then we jump right in to creating healthier ways of communicating and relating.

For couples, I utilize skills from the Gottman Method (considered the gold standard for couples therapy). For individuals with OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention. With all of my clients, I aim to help folks become more aware of how their past is influencing their present, and how to gain more control and agency over their behaviors and reactions to life's challenges.
