Sometimes, you know that something in your life or relationships needs to shift, but feel unsure of what that change should look like. You may find yourself revisiting familiar questions, habits, or arguments. This can be stressful, frustrating, and disorienting. Together, we can explore what feels stuck and how you can move towards the future you want.

A particular focus of mine is supporting people affected by a family member or loved one’s serious mental illness or substance use. Navigating these relationships can bring up a complex mix of love, worry, anger, grief, and responsibility. These experiences can also impact how comfortable you are relying on others, asking for help, or allowing yourself to be cared for. Whether these dynamics are unfolding now or shaped your childhood, therapy offers a space to explore their impact and attend to needs that may have gone overlooked.

I often work with couples who feel stuck in recurring patterns of conflict. I work with both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, including couples navigating changing agreements and desires. I also specialize in working with women with ADHD, particularly when ADHD impacts relationships and self-confidence.

I approach therapy from a psychodynamic and relational lens. This often includes exploring how formative past experiences shape current patterns and challenges. In couples therapy, I slow down conflict to understand what is happening beneath the surface. Building a basis of trust and genuine connection is an important part of our work together. I focus on creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel seen and comfortable being your full self. I also incorporate awareness of how societal and cultural factors influence mental health and well-being.

The direction of therapy will reflect your personal desires and goals. My style is warm and actively engaged. I often return to threads from earlier in our work together to build a fuller picture of your experience. I also bring humor and curiosity into the therapeutic process. I believe finding the right therapeutic fit is essential. I would love to meet with you to see if we could be a good match.
