We begin with curiosity and openness.
Making change starts with looking and learning, to better understand your inner experience, patterns, and values. It includes reflection on your past and your family histories, exploration of your INTENTIONS for the future, and profound attention to the present moment.
Often the process asks us to reckon with how we have been shaped by the past and the external world and to sift through the stories we tell ourselves. Deep change is difficult and asks for our passion and perseverance. We may see change in a seismic shift or in small, subtle shifts. Therapy is a place of transformation and a powerful tool to access and practice the ways in which you can be more choiceful, creative, and freer than you thought was possible. Therapy can be a radical endeavor on many levels.

Learning how to give and receive love in a satisfying, healing, and sustainable way can be one of the most rewarding and challenging adventures to undertake in life.
It is easy to underestimate the time, energy, and care that is required for this endeavor to be successful. I work with couples to create more safety, to allow for more openness, to facilitate creativity, and to help each person show up to the relationship more fully in order to deepen and strengthen your connectedness and your joy.
In therapy, we make space for you to feel more connected to who you really are in order to live in greater alignment with your core self.
In addition to depth-oriented psychotherapy training – which seeks to honor and understand our origins and our unconscious — my approach draws from yoga philosophy, movement science, neuroscience, social work, social justice, and indigenous food and plant healing traditions. My approach weaves together somatic, analytical, and mystical facets of psychotherapy.
I have experience helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Whether you’re looking for support as an individual or as a couple, I’m here to guide you toward your truth and toward something bigger—toward that which gives you a sense of belonging and wholeness, of meaning and purpose.

Get in touch
connect
Our initial contact will be about what you are looking to explore in therapy and any questions that you have for me. I like to meet first briefly (usually 10-15 minutes) to give us a chance to see whether it feels like we’d be a good match for what you are seeking. If it feels like it would to both of us, then we’d schedule a regular weekly time. Sessions are 50 or 75 minutes, depending on preference and availability, once or twice per week.
My fees are $220 for 50 minutes and $330 for 75 minutes.
