RELATIONSHIPS
I offer support for couples, adult children and their parents, friends, and colleagues, from an attachment-based and emotionally-focused approach. My focus is on transforming painful relationship dynamics through deep listening and nurturing understanding and empathy. My aim is to foster mutual clarity, care, and respect, cultivate relational awareness, and search for ways to honor all the needs.
No matter the challenges you are experiencing in your relationship, whether it be from a lack of trust, boundary issues, communication difficulties, or an act of harm or rupture that requires repair and reconciliation, if you are sincere about finding a way to reach each other and heal together, I can help you do that. I draw from a range of modalities and an unshakeable foundation of compassion.
Sessions are typically 2 hours long and may take place virtually or in-person. I operate a sliding scale and am sometimes able to provide pro bono sessions to those with severely limited resources. I offer an initial 15-20 minute consultation to answer any questions you may have, and to see if we feel like a good fit. Just let me know if you would like to connect, and we can set something up.

There is a field. I'll meet you there.”
