My aim is to support you in whatever vision you have for living a full and thriving life. Drawing on training in family systems, attachment theory, and emotionally focused therapy I strive to create an environment where you can hold up and examine all areas of your life with compassion and curiosity. I tend to ask probing questions, help connect you to your strengths, and assist you in identifying underlying emotions, patterns, and needs so that you can make new choices and live in a way that feels good and beautiful and true. I also utilize imagery and metaphor quite a bit, and offer insight and feedback based in psychological research. I don’t often give homework or worksheets, but instead I help you identify insights or tools you can practice throughout the week.

Working from a perspective of attachment and systems theories, I am a warm and relational therapist who believes that our well-being is tied to things like the friends we have, the places we work, the systems we live under, and the way we move our bodies. As such, I spend a lot time trying to cultivate a life that integrates all of these things in a way that enhances my life, and the lives of those around me. Sometimes that simply means being intentional with friends. It also means paying attention to where my money goes, or investing in learning and advocating for a more just world. The poet Maggie Smith once wrote “all we ever talk of is light…please let me speak on behalf of the good dark.” For many years I’ve held these words close to my heart. Not because I don’t like talking about or experiencing the fun, good, and enjoyable things (I do!), but I’ve found that—oftentimes—the hard and challenging things hold an immense amount of wisdom, if only we would dare to lean in and listen.
