Philosophy

To me, good psychotherapy is a form of art. While my way of working is informed by many years of education, training, and clinical experience, it also has an intuitive component—what happens within and between people, in my experience, often transcends ordinary logic or understanding.

My approach is relational psychoanalytic, which means that I make use of what takes place between me and my clients to better understand how they relate to other people in their lives—what goes well, and where they may inadvertently create or replay painful dynamics.

I believe meaningful growth begins with a deeper understanding of ourselves: the experiences that have shaped us, our patterns, the ways we relate to ourselves and others, and the unconscious forces that influence how we see and navigate the world.

I take a holistic perspective that sees and treats the person as an interconnected being—including mind, body, spirit, and the broader systems in which we live and work. Understanding what gets in our way is important, but so is recognizing the strengths, possibilities, and meaning within our stories.

Get Started

Services

I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of life experiences, though I specialize in working with high achievers.

Individual TherapyDesigned to address your unique story and specific goals.

Designed to address your unique story and specific goals, we will explore the experiences that have shaped you, identify the cycles you feel stuck in, and help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

For your initial session, we will meet for 60-minutes to establish an understanding of who you are, your past and present, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This initial meeting is also an opportunity to determine goodness of fit between us.

Therapy sessions are typically held on a weekly basis, though frequency will be determined collaboratively based on your individual needs and desires. For various reasons, some may benefit from deeper, more intensive treatment where sessions take place multiple times per week.

I generally do not recommend meeting less than once per week, as infrequent sessions make it more difficult to facilitate change and experience notable improvements. While standard therapy sessions are 50-minutes in length, extended sessions may be preferable and can be arranged on a case-by-case basis.

Couples & Family TherapyIntended to address your current issues while also promoting long-term relational growth and greater intimacy.

Understanding that every relationship comes with its unique challenges, my approach focuses on your current issues while also promoting long-term relational growth and greater intimacy.

We will begin with a comprehensive initial evaluation, designed to help me understand your relationship dynamic and determine the most effective path forward. This process consists of:

  • One 60-minute joint session, followed by
  • Two individual 60-minute sessions

These sessions ideally take place within the same week so that we can identify patterns, clarify goals, and establish a therapeutic direction.

Following the initial evaluation, couples typically meet with me weekly for 50-minute sessions. Extended sessions (90-minutes) or intensives may also be arranged for those seeking more support or accelerated progress.

I draw from a variety of approaches, including psychodynamic therapy, systems and attachment theory, and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), to help couples and families understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and build a stronger, more connected relationship.

Intensive SessionsA focused, transformative alternative to weekly sessions — for depth, momentum, or a demanding schedule.

Therapy intensives offer a more focused and transformative experience than standard weekly sessions. Designed for individuals and couples seeking greater depth or momentum, intensives allow us to work for extended periods in a contained way.

An intensive may be helpful if you are experiencing:

  • A significant life transition
  • An interpersonal crisis
  • Trauma that feels difficult to approach in shorter sessions
  • Feeling stuck in ongoing patterns
  • A desire for accelerated personal or relational growth
  • A schedule that makes weekly therapy challenging

Intensives can take place as:

  • Extended 90-minute or 2-hour sessions
  • Full-day (4–5 hour) intensives with breaks

Intensives are available for both individuals and couples and are tailored to your goals. They can be scheduled as standalone experiences or integrated into ongoing therapy.
