WHAT IS PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Psychotherapy is a way to help you become deeply familiar with who you actually are. Our therapeutic relationship is the safe place that models and inspires in you a capacity to be aware of yourself, to relate differently to what is happening to you and through you. We support you toward meeting yourself with your own care and resourcefulness during disappointment and when the fertile void of "nothing to say" invites us to go deeper.
COUPLES
Currently, I focus my couples work by accepting only five couples at a time, either who've worked with me in the past or through direct referral from a known colleague or client. Please reach out to me by phone or email. I'm a generalist in couples work. I maintain a relational, humanistic, collaborative style in which you do the work, while I act as a intervener, guide and reality holder. |
INDIVIDUALS
I use reflection, insight, relationship, compassion, empathy, love, acknowledgment, kindness, care and freedom to follow your narrative, together seeing what is there, what is hidden, and what is possible. As our connection deepens, more aspects of you may reveal themselves from past and present, conscious and unconscious, joy and challenges, I assist you by witnessing non-judgmentally with compassion and authentic interest, mirroring your strengths and accompanying disavowed pieces to find what they need in you. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, parenting, body image and nourishment, compulsive behaviors, self-esteem, bipolar spectrum, chronic pain, uncoupling, grief, cancer, postpartum depression, high-net-worth and pressure to succeed. |
YOUTH
You are the expert on you, your story and your experiences, your goals, hopes and dreams. I have experience working with youth from age four to 18. My 10 years of experience in education and parenting help to expand on my therapeutic education. My work with ADHD and Executive Functioning Disorder, high-school and college advising, and first-generation American students, informs my understanding of the stress and pressure young people feel. Together we help you individuate while keeping whatever connections and love support and nourish you. I believe understanding our family of origin can help us begin the journey of differentiation without building resentment. |
