Psychotherapy  Services

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy is a space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Together, we uncover both conscious and unconscious patterns that shape your life and relationships. This work can help you gain insight into recurring challenges, understand what may be limiting you, and begin finding new ways to navigate these longstanding issues—discovering possibilities you might not yet see.

I work with:

  • Young adults, college students, new parents, high-achieving professionals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people contemplating life changes

  • People navigating complex emotions, life transitions, identity questions, or relationship challenges

  • Those struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, trauma, or complicated family dynamics

What we focus on in sessions:

  • Exploring repeated patterns in relationships and life choices

  • Processing intense emotions such as anger, anxiety, sadness, or grief

  • Understanding your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors

  • Navigating life transitions, identity questions, trauma, or complex family dynamics

  • Experimenting with new ways of relating to yourself, others, and your life circumstances

A key part of our work is “saying everything”—putting all your thoughts, feelings, and experiences into words. This process helps uncover patterns, reveal roadblocks, and support meaningful, lasting change.

Couples Therapy

Couples often seek therapy when they feel stuck or want to improve communication, deepen intimacy, rebuild trust, or navigate major life transitions. I provide a safe, structured environment to explore your relationship and examine what isn’t working. Together, we help develop a conscious relationship, where both partners gain insight into how they influence interactions and conflicts, and practice new ways of relating to one another.

I work with:

  • Couples across all relationship configurations, including non-monogamous partnerships

  • LGBTQIA+ couples and those navigating gender transitions

  • Partners facing infidelity, breaches of trust, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship

  • Couples navigating life changes, cultural or religious differences, or challenges with sex and intimacy

 

In sessions, we focus on:

  • Understanding repeated patterns in conflicts and interactions

  • Improving communication, attunement, and emotional responsiveness

  • Processing difficult feelings such as anger, frustration, or sadness within the relationship

  • Navigating transitions, major decisions, or identity-related questions within the partnership

  • Experimenting with new ways of relating, building intimacy, and fostering connection

No matter the configuration of your relationship or the challenges you face, couples therapy can help partners grow together.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is a space to explore how you relate to others, notice patterns in relationships, and gain insight into yourself. Sharing experiences with others facing similar challenges can reduce isolation and shame while offering opportunities to experiment with new ways of connecting and expressing yourself.

Group therapy focuses on the “here and now,” helping members to:

  • Identify and communicate thoughts and feelings

  • Build self-reflection and emotional resilience

  • Speak up constructively and assertively

  • Tolerate difficult or uncomfortable emotions

The group environment is safe yet dynamic, allowing for honest exploration, experimentation, and growth. Over time, participants often feel more seen, understood, and confident in relationships both inside and outside the group.
