Are you a therapist looking for your own therapist? It can be quite the challenge, especially when you "have the insight, "know the coping skills," or have had poor experiences with past therapists. As an experienced relational therapist, I help clinicians go deeper in their own work. You might be struggling with complex trauma, substance use, or anxiety. You may have discovered your cognitive awareness doesn't inherently resolve shame or fear. I offer a compassionate and attuned experience rooted in exploring your tender issues. My goal is to provide meaningful witnessing to reconcile challenging inner conflicts with care.
I draw from person-centered, AEDP, and psychodynamic modalities and have advanced training in complex trauma and its many varied symptoms. I stay anchored to this field- I authored two bestselling therapy books and also run the popular psychotherapymemes Instagram page. I am passionate about my work and love supporting other clinicians in their own growth.
My approach is warm, as I hold that compassion is a profound catalyst for change. I believe attunement is the most impactful part of therapy. You hold so much space for others and deserve to have space in return. You are more than your work as a therapist, more than the sum of how you cope when life is hard, and I would be honored to meet you where you are.
