Good individual therapy is non-judgmental and collaborative. It fosters insight, growth and healing.
It’s a space just for you.
“Transformation is possible, if we create the space for it to happen.”
How we work together:
Humans are wonderfully complex and everyone struggles with something. In the therapy room we work to make space for all of you – the parts you know and like, the parts that hold distress and pain, and the parts you struggle to accept.
I believe the more fully we know and express ourselves, the more able we are to live life with resilience, self-compassion, connection and vitality.
My style is transparent, curious and warm. As a relational therapist I am interested in all the relationships in your life: past, present, your relationship with yourself and our therapeutic relationship.
Areas of specialization:
Relationship issues
Trauma
Therapy for therapists and helpers
Struggles related to a painful or confusing childhood/family of origin
Highly sensitive folks
Shame/feelings of low self-worth
Mood Disorders
Are we a good fit?
My individual clients are adults who find themselves feeling stuck or craving more in some area of their life – their relationships, their emotional world, their work, their identity.
Most of my individual clients identify with one or more of these categories:
- People who appear to be doing well in their outward facing lives but grapple internally with self-worth, anxiety or shame, or are struggling in their intimate relationship(s).
- Adults who grew up in complicated and/or painful households and want to understand how these early attachment experiences impact how they relate to themself and others.
- Helping professionals, leaders or caregivers who want more care and connection for themselves.
- People coping with romantic relationship distress.
- Empaths, sensitive people, big feelers who tend to absorb the feelings of others and/or get overwhelmed by their own emotions.
I describe myself as a relational therapist. I care deeply about the quality of the therapeutic relationship we form and I strive to make it safe, collaborative and supportive of your growth. I pay special attention to your inner world, but also to your experiences in relationships with others both past and present. I am curious, empathic, and engaged as a therapist. Although it’s probably my humanity and my own years of therapy that actually make me a good therapist, it also helps to know stuff.
