IS THIS A GOOD FIT?

We might be a good fit if this feels familiar

  1. Within yourself

    When anxiety, low moods, or self-doubt are hard to shake.

    • Anxiety
    • Feeling depressed
    • Questioning yourself
    • Self-esteem
  2. In how you communicate

    When your real feelings don’t come out the way you mean them.

    • Sharing real feelings
    • Asking for what you need
    • Quick to anger
  3. In your relationships

    When it feels like the same fight, over and over again.

    • Recurring conflict
    • Vulnerability
    • Trust
    • Disconnection & loneliness
  4. In patterns you want to change

    When you feel ashamed of how you react, and change feels out of reach.

    • Shame
    • Old patterns from early on
    • Coping that no longer works

You don’t need the right words for what you’re carrying. These are some of the things people bring to therapy with me, and my style allows me to work with many concerns beyond them.

Not sure where you fit?

A free consultation is a simple way to find out together.

THE APPROACH

My approach is simply this: direct and relational

Understanding yourself and your relationships more deeply, so you can begin to make different choices.

Direct

Warm, but honest.

I’m not afraid to ask difficult questions, point out patterns, or gently challenge you when something important needs a closer look.

Relational

Known, understood, supported.

We look beneath the surface at the patterns, beliefs, and ways of relating that shape how you experience yourself and others.

Foundation

The Satir Model

A humanistic framework for connecting with your experience, building self-esteem, transforming coping patterns, and changing how you communicate.

Virginia Satir’s five freedoms: the freedom to…

  • see and hear what is
  • say what you feel and think
  • feel what you actually feel
  • ask for what you want
  • take risks on your own behalf

Also integrated

Relational & attachment-based methods

  • Existential Therapy
  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
  • Attachment-Based Family Therapy

Trauma-informed. We cannot change what has happened to us, but we can change how it affects us.
