If you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or just plain stuck, you do not have to go it alone. I work with individuals and couples who are doing their best to navigate life's difficulties, but need some extra support to get through their current challenges. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what is causing you to feel stuck and what would help you become "unstuck." I trust people’s inherent strength, and ability to bounce back from way more than we might imagine possible. I see myself as a supportive guide, facilitating a process of self inquiry, creating shared meaning, and making needed changes in life. I have worked with clients of all ages/stages of life, but I mostly work with adults in my current practice. I draw from many evidence based approaches, including ACT, AEDP, DBT, EMDR, and ART, among others. I have completed advanced training in PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), which informs my work with couples. Getting started in therapy (or coming back to it, if you have been here before) can bring up a lot. I invite you to take your time and be gentle with yourself. If you decide that working with me might be a good fit, please get in touch.
