Let's Connect (805) 420-7553
Connecting to our potential for vibrant and meaningful relationships is more important now than ever. From this place I make it my focus to understand how our past and present circumstances keep us from accessing our potential. I'm deeply curious about the unique paths each of us move on towards healing and am committed to co-creating a resilient setting in which we explore what that path looks like for you.
Couples looking for support are more than welcome to reach out. Having received certification in psychoanalytically informed couples therapy we will look deeply into the gridlocks keeping us from loving the way we know we can. Finding creative openings that hold our partner in mind without sacrificing ourself can bring relief to the most tense dynamics.
For individuals seeking therapy I utilize trainings in depth psychotherapies, a relationship oriented bio-psycho-social approach that sees the whole person in connection with their whole environment. If you feel ready and I seem like a fit for you, please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to set up a free consultation.

Groups
Process Group for Pre-Licensed Clinicians
Going through the licensure process can be disorganizing and having a place to connect in that chaos can help both personally and professionally. As group members this is an opportunity to encounter what might be hidden behind the curtain, possibly step out, and make meaningful contact with others. As the facilitator I will be coming from a modern psychodynamically informed perspective. This is an open ended group on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7. If you are interested reach out for a consultation.
