Individual and RelationshipTherapy

People go to therapy for a lot of reasons.  Very often we are living with anxiety, work stress, relationship stress, depression, or unresolved problems and traumas from our past.  Therapy is a way for people to understand why they feel the way they do and to feel heard and understood themselves. Therapy teaches us new coping strategies, different perspectives, and new ways of thinking about a problem so they can feel better. 

In relationships, whether there are communication issues, sex and intimacy challenges, exploring other relationship possibilities such as consensual non-monogamy or polyamory, infidelity or other breaches of trust, I work to facilitate understanding, and communication, new ways of relating compassionately to one another on the shared goal of strengthening the relationship and creating a path forward.  

My goal is always to make a comfortable, relaxed space for people to talk.  I employ an eclectic approach to therapy, and enjoy the challenge of understanding each unique individual and the most effective ways of reaching them.  Because a lot of my practice involves thinking and behavioral patterns, there is often a good dose of cognitive behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapies, narrative and attachment theory.  My hope is that my client-centered approach and genuine regard for people is apparent and each person feels welcome and safe when they meet me in the therapy room.
