“Each of us secretly and desperately yearns to be ‘met’ - to be recognized in our uniqueness, our fullness, and our vulnerability. We yearn to be genuinely valued by others as who we are, even that we are ... The paradox of the human spirit is that I am not fully myself ‘til I am recognized in my uniqueness by another - and that other person needs my recognition in order to fully become the unique person she or he is.”
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a focused one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and foster self-awareness. You may start therapy in response to a life event, or simply because you want to dive deeper into yourself and facilitate healing.
Couples’ therapy
Conflict is inevitable in any relationship. Disconnects happen. The ability to reconnect, again and again, is the key to a successful long-term relationship. When couples argue, most often what they are really trying to find out is, "Are you really there for me? Do you need me?", but they get so caught up in all the angry words and miss opportunities to emotionally connect in the way that they so long for.
I help couples to become more aware of how they get triggered into destructive patterns of arguing, so that they can put a stop to them. Together we create opportunities to talk about what's really important between you - the longing to connect, again.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is affordable, and offers unique opportunities for growth not readily available through individual therapy. An on-going therapy group provides a weekly heart connection to an empathic group of others, with the potential for an experience of true acceptance and belonging. It’s lively and ever-changing, and promotes a deep sense of community that is often missing from modern life.
The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. The fee is $80 per session, payable monthly.
“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er fraught heart and bids it break.”
Grief & loss
When you lose someone you love, you feel so alone. It hurts so much you feel like no one could ever understand. You're lonely even among friends, and it seems like life is going on without you.
Sometimes you feel numb, you wish you could cry about it. Or you fear that if you start you won't be able to stop. You may wonder how you're supposed to feel. How long will it take? You think you should get over it, and you worry about burdening others.
What I know is that grief looks different for each person. There's no right or wrong way to do it and no time line. With connection to someone who really understands, you find comfort and strength, and begin to heal.
You don't have to do this alone. I'm here to help. If you're reading this, you're probably ready. Taking the first step is the hardest part, so please don't wait.
“Mourning is essentially a period of assimilation ... whereby the other is no longer present to the senses. Yet...it is through the senses that the loved one’s absence is perceived. In mourning, I am with the other in the very impossibility of reaching him/her. Mourning is therefore a necessary and creative period, which enables me to assimilate who I became with the one I have lost and who I am to become without them.”
