Ways we can

work together

Therapy & Professional Consultation

I offer individual therapy to adults; couples therapy to straight and queer couples; and family therapy for caregivers, parents, and adult children.  

I specialize in family therapy to caregivers of type 1 diabetes and other chronic illnesses and supporting the families of gender-nonconforming children.


Couples Therapy

Your primary relationship is so important in your life — which is why it feels so awful when it seems like the cycle of conflict with your partner is inescapable.  You imagine that your relationship should be a refuge — a place of closeness and understanding, intimacy and connection. Instead, you find that you’re distressed and stuck, spinning through the same arguments and negative feelings.

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you break free from these negative cycles.  Together, we will go straight to the distress that is behind the disconnection. I will make space for each of your voices to be heard so you can work together towards long-lasting changes that foster the loving and fulfilling relationship you want and deserve.

Family Therapy

Relationships between parents and their adult children are meant to evolve. But when old roles, expectations, and unresolved hurts continue to shape the relationship, interactions can become tense, repetitive, and draining. You may want to understand one another better and find ways to stay connected while also respecting independence and boundaries. Still, conversations often slip back into familiar patterns that leave everyone feeling frustrated or misunderstood. In working with me, we can slow things down, identify and shift these patterns, introduce practical tools for communicating differently, and support a move toward greater clarity, mutual respect, and renewed connection.

Individual Therapy

Something feels off:  Perhaps you can’t connect with the people you love in a way that brings you joy.  Maybe you can’t access the parts of yourself that feel meaningful.  But what you know is that you want to feel more whole and connected, happy and joyous.  In therapy with me, you won’t be alone with these feelings: We will uncover your story -- the parts that you know easily, as well as the parts that you often tuck away, in shame, embarrassment or confusion.  

You’ll find that I approach you with compassion and curiosity, mixed with humor and warmth, making it possible for you to feel safe doing this challenging and fulfilling work.  Together, we will work to figure out how to help you find your way back to your best self.

Consultations

I offer individual and group consultation to licensed clinicians, as well as to associates gaining hours toward licensure.  I am certified in all EFT modalities and really enjoy helping clinicians apply EFT in their work.

I’m most interested in getting to know you — what your goals are, what your growing edge is as a therapist —  and helping you build your confidence and skills.  

You will do your best work as you grow more comfortable with your own style and expertise. My goal is to help you hone that.  I will follow your lead, being collaborative or directive, depending on what you are needing and wanting and what serves your work with your clients.
