I am interested in all pieces of your life and leave no stone unturned in learning who you are and what you have experienced. I will look for patterns and draw connections in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to offer you new ways to understand yourself. I love to solve puzzles and am therefore always exploring how each thought, feeling and experience fits into the big picture that is you. I am curious and empathetic with a genuine passion for helping people heal and grow. All I ask is for you to be committed to this process. Good therapy can bring about deep, profound, lasting change but it does not happen overnight.
For individuals, we’re a good fit if you: think you 'should' be happy but you're not; worry you may be getting in your own way; think everyone has it together but you; feel trapped by the needs or expectations of others; have shame or fear about things you suspect you need to talk about; want to bring all pieces of your life together into a cohesive ‘you’.
Closed to new couples until May 2025. Email to be placed on waitlist. : : : : For couples, we’re a good fit if you and your partner(s) want to: create or restore a healthy, satisfying sex life; improve emotional connection; explore how your relationship history may contribute to current problems; take risks and go outside your comfort zone to find solutions.
