Through compassionate listening, curiosity, and reflection, I work collaboratively with clients to lead them to positive change. I help you to increase safety and connection in your relationship so that you can feel more secure, more satisfied, and more emotionally alive with each other. I have been helping both new and experienced therapists to develop their own person style as a therapist for over fifteen years.
Therapy can help you to feel a sense of internal freedom, joy, and connection to yourself and others. It can also inspire creativity, curiosity, and hope.

I believe that we heal and grow most profoundly and meaningfully in connection with others. Most of us come to therapy having tried to manage things on our own. We often think that our own willpower and determination should be enough to get us through. When they don't seem to be enough, we can sometimes judge ourselves harshly.
Many of the people I work with struggle with having conformed to outer expectations, often out of a need to survive, rather than heeding their inner needs and desires. This has often led to feeling their own pain and difficulties to be unimportant and insignificant. I work with clients to help them to relate to themselves and their own struggles with kindness.
It often takes a lot to embark on couple therapy. It can feel exposing and scary to share our couple relationship - where we show our most vulnerable and emotionally heated selves - with another. I approach couple therapy as a collaborative partner who is helping you to understand how and why you get stuck in long-term dynamics, sometimes deadlocked with the person you love and uncertain how to reconnect with each other.
I work with both new and experienced therapists and have been providing supervision and consultation for over 15 years. I am interested in helping you to develop your own personal style as a therapist, not in you becoming a therapist just like me. I will be curious about your clients, your impact on your clients, and your experience of being in the room with your clients.
I offer a 20 minute phone consultation to talk together about why you are considering therapy and what you are hoping to work on. I will let you know if I think psychotherapy can be helpful to you, and may offer suggestions for other treatment options if appropriate. If you want, I can answer questions you have about me, about payment, and about how we might work together.
