Traveler, there is no path. The path is made by walking.

Phoebe Dixon
Therapy should feel safe, supportive, creative and gently challenging. I want to provide a space that is just for you, to get to know yourself and understand your story thus far, and how you came to be the unique person you are today, with all your gifts and all of the difficult stuff, too. I will companion you on this journey and together we will figure out where to from here.
For couples (and any configuration of partnership) I am here to allow you to really see each other again and remember what brought you together, repair what may be still hurting, investigate patterns of communication and practice new skills in real time. Your relationship doesn't have to be hanging by a thread to come to therapy - come along to reconnect when life gets in the way, or work through a challenging time, discuss a tender issue, be witnessed in stuck patterns and receive guidance and feedback. And if you are in a deeply painful moment with each other, I can offer a space to slow down and be with what is really going on and bring in some relief and clarity for you both.
I also work with families, whether it be with parents, children, and extended families. If everyone is willing, then there is a way.
I also have a particular interest in working with addiction, trauma, personality disorders, mood disorders, and treatment-resistant depression; areas that often ask for more patience, nuance, and a willingness to stay present with what's difficult.
In our work together, I draw on a range of approaches depending on what you need, including Gestalt therapy, the Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Therapy, art therapy, and somatic awareness — helping you feel more met, more whole, and more able to move forward.
