How We Can Help

We have helped hundreds of people create more fulfilling lives for themselves. It might seem like life is overwhelming right now, and that your relationship, family, job or fill-in-the-blank with the thing that is upsetting you right now, will never get better. However, we have seen the other side of what you are going through.

There is hope that things can get better. People can heal. Growth is possible. Hope is a scary thing to let yourself feel. I can hold that space for you until you are ready to hold it for yourself. We specialize in helping people that want to understand themselves better, heal from trauma, learn how to set boundaries with people they love and find what creates a fulfilling experience.

  • Being part of a couple is challenging. There are different stages to relationships, and no-matter the stage, it can be really helpful to get support from a well-trained therapist that can help you clarify expectations, improve communication and support you into the next phase of your relationship. Couples/Relationship therapy focuses on concepts like how you will communicate with one another and what expectations you have for yourself and one another. While couple’s therapy usually implies two people in a relationship, I also work with relationships of all make-ups. Some relationships have chosen monogamy while others have agreed to an open arrangement. Some relationships consist of a dyad (two people), while others consist of three or more people.

    Whatever your make-up, my goal is to help you in whatever phase of your relationship you might find yourself in. If you happen to believe that you are at the end of your relationship, I can help you figure out how to end things in an amicable and respectful way. If you are looking to move to the next phase together, I can help you id

  • I believe therapy should be a place that is safe enough for honesty and containing enough to make progress. My favorite aspect of therapy is the possibility to undergo a transformative experience. Often times, what brings us to therapy is just one of many things that bog us down, create a sense of burden, and make us question if we truly “belong”. While I subscribe to a core philosophy for therapy, that being unconditional positive regard creates space for creative change to take place (i.e. Humanistic psychology). Sometimes we need to process things in an order or hear them framed a certain way to really “get” them (i.e. Strategic Therapy) and that there is no such things as a “human island”.

    Some people question the relevance of therapy and say that they could just go have coffee with a friend instead. The core difference of the therapeutic relationship is the fact that it is meant to be a space to explore relationship dynamics with someone trained to help you find your own answers to these challenges.

  • We all have relationships, either with biological family or chosen family, that shape us and influence us. We can learn how to shift those dynamics and have the kinds of relationships in the “how” that we crave (i.e. Family Systems Therapy). Family therapy can be done with all members of the family unit participating or with one person participating in individual therapy that is focused on family system issues. Although counterintuitive, one person can influence a shift in an entire family by changing their own behavior first.

    I have spent much of my career working with family systems that had very complex dynamics. My goal in family therapy is to help the members of the group have the relationships with one another that they are seeking. Often times, this requires the group to look closely at communication patterns, boundaries, and family traditions. Not all family therapy focuses on what isn’t going well. There is a lot to gain by looking at where the resilience and strength of a family is so that can be used to bridge the areas that are a struggle or are painful.

  • I have provided supervision for many therapists on their journey to licensure. My goal in supervision is to help those learning how to do therapy to unlock new ways of conceptualizing the cases they are working with. Supervision is the most effective when someone can uncover new ways of looking at a situation and face whatever internal anxiety that might keep them from fully helping the client. I have witnessed students and interns struggle with imposter syndrome and then find their confidence along the way. I enjoy teaching and see supervision as a way to provide mentorship for the next generation of therapists. If you are looking for supervision or case consultation, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your journey.

    I provide supervision that can focus on individual, group, couples or family therapy. There are layers to learn in each of those domains. I have been blessed to have amazing supervisors in my career that I have been able to incorporate into my own supervision style. The art of therapy is something that is kept alive through teaching others what we know. I look forward to passing that lineage of knowledge onto the next generation.
