My priority is the relationship that I will build with you.
Are you craving a safe space where you can start learning more about yourself and your patterns? Do you find that the same challenges often come up in your life but you aren't sure how to move through them? This is very often what people describe when first coming to therapy. I firmly believe that our adult patterns are the direct result of painful or overwhelming experiences that we had as children. By making connections between the past and the present, we learn how to meaningfully change our lives.

I provide structured, in-person and online, 90-minute sessions to couples who have the time for, and commitment to, the journey of reclaiming their relationship.
A person’s intimate partner can be one of their greatest sources for pleasure, security, and meaning in life. In such relationships it is NOT normal (or acceptable) to feel isolated, controlled, or demeaned. If this is your experience, I can help. My approach strikes a balance between processing betrayals and regrettable incidents from the past, and ritualising effective practices for building trust, friendship, understanding, and intimacy in the present. I start with a 90-minute assessment, give practical and straight-forward direction, and allow space for each person’s story to unfold.

Are you facing difficulties or challenges that you either don't understand or that you feel powerless to do something about? Are there specific internal issues that you can identify that you want to resolve, like anxiety, or depression, or problems in relationship - whether that's with others, or with yourself? Do you find that you are self-critical, self-doubting, unable to respond to the events of your life with freedom, and instead trapped in patterns you cannot seem to overcome on your own? Do you want to be free of such self-defeating patterns, and be the person you were put here on this earth to be? Let's make it happen.

I have experience working with various forms of trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and relationship and family issues.
I believe that therapy can be a safe space for healing and self-discovery. I feel very passionate about supporting people through this process and creating a therapeutic relationship where you can feel validated and supported. I practice with a trauma-informed lens and believe in the importance of nervous system regulation during sessions. Because of this, I often incorporate somatic interventions, as well as grounding exercises and resources. My approach is attachment and emotion-focused, anti-oppressive, and informed by feminist and queer theory.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
