INDIVIDUALS

In my work with individuals starts wherever you are at, and is tailored to fit each person's individual needs. I work relationally which means we will use our relationship to examine the ways that you relate to other people in your world. We will work together to understand ways that you have learned to show up and the messages you received over time about how you are "supposed" to be in the world. We will work to understand what coping mechanisms are still serving you and which we can thank for their hard work and let go. I have training and experience in working with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, identity development, low-self-esteem and relationship issues to name a few.

 

COUPLES

Couples usually seek help because they are feeling disconnected in some way, often both feeling unheard and unseen. Furthermore, we are often not equipped with the tools to talk about our vulnerable needs, longings and pain-points. My work with couples in grounded in emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to help clients recognized the negative cycle they are caught in. I also guide my clients to tune into a speak about their vulnerable feelings underneath their behaviors and reactions.

We all bring our past traumas and hurts into our current relationships, sometimes without much awareness around how this may be impacting things. As we understand the unique lens that each person brings we can help you attune to each other in new and profound ways. 

I welcome couples of all backgrounds and preferences, including queer, mixed-race and non-monogamous couples. 

 

TEENS

Being a teenager is not easy. With adolescence comes a great deal of change that often happens quickly and can be difficult to navigate. This can lead to feelings of isolation, fear and feeling misunderstood. My work with teens can help with making sense of this world between childhood and adulthood. Therapy with teens can help with finding more constructive and productive ways to communicate, can build self-confidence and illicit trust in the self which can lead to better decision-making and improved relationship with self and others. 

 

I welcome clients of all backgrounds, preferences and lifestyles.
