Individual Psychotherapy

Therapy is a place where you have the freedom and safety to express all your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, hopes and yearnings, fears and vulnerabilities, with someone who is there to support you, without judgment. In the most succinct way, it’s about getting to know yourself more fully.

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with an analytic lens, who employs training and experience with a broad range of treatment techniques. There are many different kinds of therapy. In Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, we seek to understand how emotional, relational and behavioral patterns that have evolved throughout our lives continue to impact on our lived experience. Working with me is a collaborative process of exploring everyday life, it’s emotional sequelae and how that touches who you are at core.

Sometimes therapy is about coping with life transitions: challenges at work, stress in relationships, health changes, loss. Change is scary. It tests our and our very identity. Using therapy to help navigate through changing circumstances can help to make it less daunting, and to help you keep your thoughts, feelings and actions in alignment with your hope for the future.

Then there are those times when our feelings can get in the way. When a worry becomes anxiety that stops us in our tracks, or when we just feel down but then can’t shake it. It’s when having someone you can trust to get in it with you can make all the difference.

Couples Therapy

There’s YOU…and there’s other people. It’s that simple, and that complicated.

People come to couples therapy for a variety reasons. Often it’s to work on problems: communication issues, betrayals, changing sexual, intellectual and spiritual needs. Figuring out how to live in relationship to others requires facing conflicts- not running from them. Learning how to repair hurt feelings and to hold emotional space for each other, to create a more compassionate and forgiving connection can help you to have a more gratifying relationship. At the end of the day, having your needs met in relationship requires the ability to express them in a way that can be heard, a partner who is receptive, supportive and willing to reciprocate.

With or without a partner, sexual health and happiness can be evasive. Having someone to talk to with a background in human sexuality who can help you work through problems from a sex therapy perspective, may help to assuage the concerns that inhibit and limit your ability to have a satisfying sexual experience.
