We don’t get f*cked up alone, and we don’t get unf*cked up alone
Individual Therapy
When working one-on-one with a client, I want to help you get the most out of your experience. If I’m going to ask you to be vulnerable, trust me, and try new things… the least I can do is show up authentically, be honest about what I’m seeing, and try to tailor my approach to your needs. We will work collaboratively to find realistic solutions for your immediate and long-term needs. If we’re not a fit, I will help you find someone who might be. When you’re seeking help, it should be from someone you believe is the optimal fit.
Because I believe that humans, by design, prefer a full and complete narrative, I ask all individual clients to have at least one relational session in the first year of working together. This doesn’t have to be with a conflictual relationship—it can be a friend, partner, coworker, or anyone capable of adding that third dimension to my conception of you and your unique emotional landscape.
I work with people of all genders, backgrounds, and across the lifespan (specifically 15-65).
Relational Therapy
Relationships are hard. Whether it's a partnership, friendship, relative, peer, or something outside of traditional categories, adding more people means adding (and managing) more feelings. Marriage and Family Therapists are trained to look beyond the individual experiencing the symptom in order to identify the systems compounding the issues. Contextualizing the symptoms relative to the system helps underscore that it isn’t anyone’s fault, normalizes the experiences that often leave us feeling “crazy” or “alone,” and increases the workability of the situation.
You can either be right or be in relationships, but it’s difficult to do both sustainably. I work with couples, families, friends, and other relationship systems to help you find a new and sustainable way to relate to one another.
How Does It Work?
I work outside the insurance model, often going more than 53 minutes each session (especially for relational sessions), such as 90 or 120 minutes, but meeting less frequently than once a week. I offer a variety of approaches, meeting places, and ways of organizing our sessions to perfectly pair each appointment to the person.
