I work with individuals, couples and families, and also provide supervision and consultation for students, interns and licensed professionals.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Therapy is a place where you can bring all parts of yourself into the room. Treatment is a creative process, unfolding in the work of our dyad and varying based on your individual needs and willingness.  I provide my capacity for healthy relatedness, my warmth and insight, my curiosity and humor. I offer both a spacious and engaged environment that invites in the parts of you that you might not comfortably accept, so that we together can see and hold them compassionately.  

COUPLES THERAPY

In couples treatment, the goal is to deepen intimacy, to gain understanding of what individuals bring to the relationship dynamic and to create an environment in which couples can learn to be allies. I help couples risk vulnerability and create open-heartedness, while undoing patterns of blame, resentment and isolation.

CONSULTATION

My orientation is psychoanalytic and relational, with a strong emphasis on somatic processes. I work with counter-transference and intersubjectivity as a way to understand the unconscious. I am respectful of all theoretical models but prefer to work with clinicians who are psychodynamically oriented.
