Come sit. 

 

I love when clients tell me they are getting a lot more out of therapy than they expected to.  It is my hope that our work will be meaningful and the results will be long-lasting. My training and experience afford me a broad palette so I have many different ways of helping you explore. While I draw most often upon psychodynamic, narrative, feminist, EMDR, the PACT approach to couples therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, sometimes the most powerful medicine is a shared laugh about the ironies of life and the sheer madness that comes with being human. I aspire to be extremely practical and to focus deeply on what you are saying and not saying.  I believe in being tough when you need it, soft when the work is hard enough and playful when the seriousness of growth and change needs a ballast.  I am available to talk about subjects some find extremely challenging, private and/or shameful, and I am prepared to lovingly witness painful stories and intense emotions. My approach is as much about the body as it is the mind and how the two are really one.  How structural oppression affects us all is very much woven into how I think about human capacity. No matter what brings you in, we will surely talk about hope, curiosity, compassion and grit-- useful tools for just about every human scenario.  As much as I want you to leave your final session with new skills and perspectives, I hope our work together will contribute to your experience of freedom and vitality even in the darkest of times. 

My practice welcomes humans regardless of size, race and ethnicity, age, sexual and gender identity, physical ability, class, religious and spiritual orientation, immigration status, and all the other ways we can feel marginalized and/or fabulous.
