About You
If you’ve done talk therapy with limited or short term results and want to find a way to move issues more deeply, this is a place for you.
(Or even if you haven’t done much or any therapy and you want to skip over the surface results and make deep movement.)
If you’re wanting more from a therapist than someone who listens and responds “mmmmmm”, this is a place for you.
If you struggle with doing things that logically you know you don’t want to be doing, but you can’t seem to stop (whether it’s yelling at your kids or partner, feeling like you’re unlovable, putting up walls when you don’t want to, pushing people away or clinging to them in a panic, or just plain old binging Netflix when you’re overwhelmed), this is a place for you.
If you want to learn to set boundaries with yourself and others, if you want to respond rather than react, if you want to parent differently than you were parented, if you want to reparent yourself, this is a place for you.
If you want to heal triggered responses and trauma that you’re carrying, this is a place for you.

How often do you suggest scheduling?
At first, I ask people to commit to every week if schedules and finances allow. It really does help us to get a foundation for our work and some movement for you.
I also realize life gets in the way of that consistency sometimes. I trust my clients to decide for themselves what they can do and what makes sense for them.
Over time most people taper to end sessions when they’re ready. I also often have people come back for a tune up here or there for years.
In person or virtual?
Virtual only at this point, but I am exploring options for some in person work.
What is the process to start couple or relationship therapy?
We start with a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit to work together.
If there’s a match, I will do an individual session with each person to get their perspective, history, and screen for appropriateness of wrap around therapy if you’re looking for that.
Then we come back together in the next session and I give you my thoughts on what we need to work on and get us started.
Can anyone do wrap around couple’s therapy?
I screen to make sure this is a good fit in our consultation and intake sessions.
It requires a certain dynamic between all participants to be a good fit since we’re introducing the element of one on one communication with myself and each partner.
I love doing this work though and find it very effective, so I’m willing to do the extra work of holding those additional boundaries and relationships.
