I do not see therapy as one size fits all, and I view every relationship as unique.
I recognize that it takes courage to open up about deeply personal thoughts, emotions, and experiences, especially those that may feel taboo or shameful. That is why I work tirelessly to co-create therapeutic relationships with clients where they can feel safe to explore and express themselves fully, knowing that they will be met with empathy, acceptance, and support every step of the way. Central to my approach is the conviction that insight lays the groundwork for choice and eventual change.

I believe that growth happens when we are in connection with trusted others. I strive to build a strong, emotionally safe, affirming, and collaborative relationship with each of my clients. I also believe in the value of exploring earlier experiences and the importance of understanding yourself in terms of the socio-cultural and familial contexts you are embedded in.

I enjoy helping clients who want to explore themselves and work towards being more accepting and confident in who they truly are. If you want to gain a broader perspective in how you are approaching your relationships, both personal and professional, I'd love to help you. Growth and change are challenging, and can also be fun and exciting. In our work we'll practice being more aware of what is really there for you in the area(s) you're working on. It might be that devloping a new skillset in your relationship will help it grow, or that you need help ending a relationship and starting a new one.

I've had the privilege of working with individuals, couples and families for over thirty years regarding life transitions and relationship building.
Often as we journey through life we experience challenging events. At these times answers may seem out of reach. While friends and family can be supportive, they sometimes are unable to help us heal. I offer a compassionate, safe place to fully explore yourself and your relationships -- past, present and future.

I believe past experiences can have a lasting impact on the present in ways that are sometimes hard to make sense of, such as negative relationship patterns, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, anger, shame, confusion, intimacy issues, concerns connected to gender identity and sexuality, or just doing things in life that aren’t working but you don’t understand why. My work helps people gain insight into how the past may be impacting the present, and foster the strength to express and stay true to their own needs and desires.

Each member of your relationship or family will feel heard, understood, and, most importantly, accepted.
You might be asking, "How do I restore balance in my life?" In the complex dance of relationships, maintaining harmony can sometimes feel like an insurmountable challenge. Particularly in intimate relationships or within the family unit, it’s not uncommon to feel disconnected, despite your best efforts. Rekindling love, intimacy, and warmth in these relationships is within reach.

Are you a woman in midlife wondering about her next chapter? A recent college graduate navigating the challenges of launching your adult life? Someone experiencing challenges in your relationship? Let's be honest, in our productivity-obsessed society, it's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day routines of our lives and not take time to prioritize our wellbeing. Here's what I know: taking time out of your week to intentionally focus on yourself in therapy can help. A lot. Think of therapy as a stepping stone, a safe space that allows for a pause as you reflect on your path and choose your direction with awareness and confidence.

As a therapist, I am keenly interested in one's early life experiences and the nature of their relationships – especially the relationship with oneself.
I am a psychodynamically-trained, interpersonally-oriented, and existentially curious practitioner. The therapy that I practice is relational in nature — I aim to work both through the lens of relationships and in relationship with patients. I am of the belief that what arises through therapeutic process is equally as important as the therapeutic outcomes.

I am a certified EMDR clinician and specialize in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD and subsequent relationship issues.
Having the tools we need to navigate our way through life's challenges is often the key to greater happiness and fulfillment. I believe that human beings start from a place of health and resilience. When we have difficult or traumatic experiences, we can often be sidetracked by self-doubt, anxiety, depression and more. This can make life and relationships feel overwhelming, confusing and at times unmanageable. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and understand ourselves better while also developing the tools we need to move forward. Through this process, we can begin to heal from the past while creating a more intentional future.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
