Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families

My Approach

I work with change, the chaos that it can cause, and the flexibility and fluidity that can be necessary to shift from surviving to thriving. Change, and coping with its aftermath or its eventual inevitability, can often be what brings people to therapy.

I hope that we can approach this work with open hands. I value a client/therapist relationship that feels alive and I want you to be able to find the type of support and vibe that is right for you. I work collaboratively, creatively, and truly believe you own the work we do together. Theoretically, I am interested in Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Depth Approaches. I enjoy the perspective of working with Systems, internally and within the cultural context in which you live. I want to offer a meaningful space for you to explore what is coming up for you in your own life and meet you with compassion, warmth, and acceptance.

I work relationally. We are in relationship with everything around us: people, plants, place, objects, money, gender, and our internal selves. I believe that it is important to explore what those relationships mean and how we can become more conscious of our life as a whole, made up of parts that interact with each other. What happens internally in our unconscious affects what happens externally and vice versa. I believe in the powers of the imagination and play as doors into our own unconscious. I enjoy working with creative minds who are curious about exploring, expanding, and queering our experiences of relationships. Through my own personal work, I am discovering my relationship with Queer Spirit.  I work through a lens of queerness to explore how we can shift into fluidity,  flexibility, and acceptance when change is present. 

If any of this resonates with you or makes you think, "Wait...what the fuck does that mean?" - call me - I would love to talk and see what happens!
