I'm open to working with adults and adolescents age 14 and up.

My approach is psychodynamic (based in attachment theory), trauma-informed, and focused on your unique strengths as an individual. I also utilize CBT techniques (noticing and shifting thought patterns to change feeling states) when helpful.

I believe that healing happens inside and outside of the therapeutic space and that therapy can serve as a guidepost for expansive growth.

Individual therapy is a place for you to be witnessed, nurtured, and supported through whatever struggle or mindset might be challenging you.

Informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (“EFT”), a theoretical model that focuses on creating a secure emotional connection between partners, I will work with you to identify the negative patterns that keep you and your partner disconnected and in conflict and to cultivate greater understanding about the underlying concerns and fears that maintain these negative patterns.

We will then work to disrupt these patterns and replace them with greater emotional responsiveness and engagement. Couples therapy will allow you and your partner to improve communication and increase connection.

I also offer pre-marriage counseling, specifically designed to support couples in exploring important aspects of their relationship, before major conflict or disconnect arises. Generally this is shorter-term work ranging from 4-8 sessions, with the option of adding more sessions as needed or desired.

While families come in all different forms and I'm open to working with many different configurations, I have the most experience supporting parents and their teens navigate the complexity of adolescence.

Adolescence is a time of shifting power dynamics, exploration, and individuation. While there are often painful and messy parts to this process, it is also a time of awesome growth and great potential.

Counseling between family members can have a wonderfully positive impact on interrelation and communication. I try to make sure each family member has a voice and is able to feel seen and heard through the process. The result is often greater ease and a deeper sense of connection and trust.
