No matter who you are or what you’re currently struggling with, one thing is for sure: Your life (and your happiness) is deeply influenced by your relationships with other people. By things that happened in the past, yes. And also the dynamics and patterns that are playing out today. Do you feel frustrated and powerless about how others are acting or the ways their behavior is impacting you? Or perhaps stuck in your own misery and muck. No matter what the situation, you have far more choices and control than you think.
Working together we’ll explore the places that feel confusing, scary or painful—including topics that most people tiptoe around. I am ready to take your hand and “go there” with you because, truth is, I’ve been there myself. And I know how much relief and freedom is on the other side.
If you’re ready to be reconnected to your worth and strengths and create a deeper sense of connection and belonging, I’d love to support you. And help you create the life you truly want.

Your first intake session is $225; all sessions after that are $175. I do not have affiliations with any health insurance companies, so all sessions are on a private-pay basis. I can happily provide you a detailed "superbill" to help you get reimbursed by your insurer. Or you can pay with your HSA.

I feel a special kinship with individuals who have experienced early childhood trauma, as well as frustrated couples who are sexually or emotionally stuck. I am infinitely curious and tend to ask direct questions within a container of safety, sensitivity and trust. I am trauma-informed on every level, and welcome the vulnerable sharing of your story.

Weaving Emotionally Focused Therapy with other tools and approaches, I can help you 1) See and dismantle damaging patterns and themes, often based on things you experienced early in life. 2) Find and express your feelings and uncover the deeper emotions. 3) Tune into and befriend your body, which can be a gateway to greater self-awareness and appreciation.
