” The couples I work with need help being more direct with their partner about their concerns, especially about the future of the relationship.
Do you often feel like you're not enough, no matter how much you accomplish? Do you identify as a people pleaser, and still imagine everyone is always mad at you? Maybe you have difficulty with binge or emotional eating, or are really critical of your body. Therapy is about giving voice to our unconscious, complicated feelings that up until now were just reactions that didn't match the circumstances. Together, we get to know the real you better, so that you can make decisions that align with your wants and needs, be a better participant in your relationships, and live more authentically.

I work with LGBT and straight individuals and couples, striving to help people feel comfortable expressing their feelings and asserting their needs.
Talking about feelings during particularly stressful times might stir up emotions from the past. Together we will explore these feelings so you can understand why certain relationships or situations distress you. The more attention you pay to these “red flags” and what disturbs you, the more control you will have over them.
