What would you like to work on?

Our early experiences with attachment and bonding shape the way we relate to others throughout our lives. If you're struggling with attachment issues, such as fear of abandonment, difficulty trusting others, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, my approach could be well suited to working on these issues. I offer therapy that focuses on understanding and healing attachment wounds, which is correlated with healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Relationships are an essential part of our lives, and they can bring great joy and fulfillment. However, they can also be challenging and complex. I frequently work with clients struggling with communication issues, setting boundaries, putting others’ needs before your own, feeling disconnected from your loved ones, or other relational challenges. I offer an empathetic space where we can work together to explore your feelings, identify patterns, and develop new skills to improve your relationships.

Have you ever been trying to make a decision where one “part” of you thought something completely different than another “part” of you? As an IFS-informed therapist, I guide clients in this gentle, non-pathologizing approach to understanding internal parts. This self-discovery tool helps develop self-compassion and heal shame.

My own therapist once told me, “all relationships will eventually disappoint you.” We all face varying challenges that cause distress and disconnection with our partners. By exploring underlying issues that lead to that distress, I can help couples build a stronger bond and foster a secure attachment with one another.

Our sexuality and gender are essential aspects of our identity, and exploring these areas of our lives can be both exciting and challenging. I enjoy working with folks questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity, dealing with societal pressures or discrimination, or just wanting to explore their sexuality and gender in a safe, supportive space. I offer therapy that honors all identities and experiences, so you can feel seen, heard, and validated.

As a therapist, you know the importance of self-care and prioritizing your mental and emotional health. However, it can be difficult to find someone who understands the unique challenges and stressors that come with being a therapist.

I love working with other clinicians and offer modalities tailored to the needs of mental health professionals. Whether you're struggling with burnout, compassion fatigue, or just need a safe space to process your own emotions and experiences, I'm here to help.

Compassionate Listening: As a therapist, you spend your days listening to others and holding space for their emotions. But who listens to you? I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate ear to help you process your own feelings and experiences.

Trauma-Informed Therapy: Many therapists have experienced trauma in our own lives, and this can impact our ability to provide care for our clients. I offer trauma-informed therapy to help you heal from your own traumas and develop a deeper understanding of trauma-informed care. This can also be a space to process the complexities of any countertransference you may be experiencing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness is a powerful tool for reducing stress, increasing self-awareness, and promoting emotional regulation. I offer mindfulness-based therapy to help you stay grounded and centered in your own life and work.

Solution-Focused Therapy: Sometimes, therapists just need practical solutions to the challenges they're facing. I offer solution-focused therapy to help you identify concrete steps you can take to improve your work-life balance, decrease stress, and feel more fulfilled in your career.

Ethical nonmonogamy is a relationship style that allows for consensual, honest relationships with multiple partners. This can take many forms, including polyamory, open relationships, swinging, etc. While ethical non-monogamy can be incredibly rewarding, it can also come with its own set of challenges.

I offer a non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore your feelings, identify patterns, and develop new skills to improve your relationships. I work with folks experiencing jealousy, struggling to communicate their needs and boundaries, or just looking for support and guidance as they navigate the ups and downs of a relationship style that doesn’t always have a clear road map.

My vet once told me that they have a diagnostic code for “something just ain’t right”. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it reminded me of many clients who know something has to change, but aren’t sure what. This is a perfectly normal place to start. So, in addition to these areas of focus, I also offer therapy for a range of other issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. My approach to therapy is holistic, meaning that I consider the whole person, including their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and social and cultural context to create a customized treatment plan that works for them.
