I believe that the
relationship
is key in therapy. I am known by my clients and colleagues as warm, humorous, caring and compassionate while still being direct and challenging, when it's helpful. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that integrates relational, humanistic, and psychodynamic theories while utilizing some mindfulness, meditation, and psychoeducation. I aim to always provide a safe, nonjudgemental environment with the hope of making it easier for us to explore difficulties, navigate emotional disturbances, and identify patterns from the past to the present.

Choosing wellness can be a daunting and overwhelming task. Asking for help can feel scary and anxiety provoking, sometimes we doubt our capacity to change. Therapy is an essential tool we will use to disentangle your life and relationships while building clarity and self-awareness. Committing to wellness and making room for subtle change will alter your life as you know it. Strengthening a
relationship
with yourself will naturally inspire and deepen your connections to others. I look forward to getting to know you. Congratulations on taking this first step towards relief.

I am certified in Emotionally Focused
Couples
Therapy (EFT), which is immensely powerful in improving the bond between partners.
Often, people come to therapy because they are living lives that they never planned on. It becomes clear that difficulties from the past are getting in the way of settling into relationships. I am interested in helping people overcome losses - the loss of time due to depression, the loss of previous versions of oneself due to unresolved feelings, illnesses, or injuries, the loss of relationships that might have succeeded had one been more able to give to or receive from others, and the loss of one's identity due to the demands of work, relationships, or culture. I believe creativity, spontaneity, and humor can contribute to growth.

I provide Individual and
couples
therapy, consultation & supervision.
Each therapy begins with a consultation for "goodness of fit". I listen carefully and actively for symptoms, to history and to the experience of suffering. Desciphering patterns that may contribute to current suffering begins right away as well. I encourage your questions so that together we can develop a collaborative treatment plan. This plan may include short-term intervention or longer-term therapy, depending on the nature of problems, treatment goals, and available resources. I use a range of treatment approaches e.g. dynamically informed psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, mindfulness-based interventions, EMDR and expressive arts in my therapeutic work.

" I offer individual and
couples
psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
The premise of psychotherapy is that every crisis presents an opportunity for growth and change. Against this backdrop, psychotherapy is an adventure of insight unique for every person, whether the reason for seeking treatment is a current stressor or the wish to be free from longstanding dysfunctional patterns that interfere with fulfillment in the spheres of love, work and play.

I bring a warm and interactive style to my psychotherapeutic practice, which can best be described as "eclectic," as I believe that not one type of therapy is right for everyone. Pulling from psychodynamic (insight-oriented) psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness/meditation, and somatics (the integration of body/mind/spirit), I will tailor my practice to your individual needs depending on the particular issues you would like to address in therapy.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
