Does this sound familiar?
- Feeling a sense of disconnection between you and your partner(s), like changes in intimacy or trouble
navigating communication in your romantic relationship? - Experiencing a reproductive health loss and hoping for a space to process?
- Feeling stuck in patterns of conflict with your romantic partner, friends, family, or other people in your life?
- Struggling with self-esteem or academic pressure as a teen?
I Can Help.
I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach into my work with clients, and my hope is to offer a supportive space where you can be yourself and where laughter can feel possible even as you navigate challenging parts of life. We will explore your emotional experiences and relationships, build confidence in
expressing your fears and strengths, and even take some leaps to try out new ways of relating to yourself and others. I use narrative therapy and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) approaches to support individuals, couples and intimate partners, and families in learning from their stories and moving towards
connection and change. I also work from a systemic and relational perspective, which means seeking to understand how we are all impacted by and impacting our relationships, communities, cultural contexts, and stories.
In therapy, I draw upon my background in community mental health and I believe that healing happens every day in community spaces – through music, art, sports, connection, and through the ways we shape and are shaped by community. Whether working with individuals, families, or couples and intimate
partners, small changes can lead to bigger changes as we navigate the hope, loss, overwhelm, joy, and many other experiences that show up in our lives.
What can you expect?
- A sense of hope for re-connection in your romantic partnerships
- A deeper understanding of your emotional experiences and needs, and how those needs show up in different ways in your life
- In couples and intimate partners therapy, an opportunity to explore and practice ways of feeling more connected with each other when tackling challenges, as partners rather than as opponents
- Greater belief in yourself and your own capacity for growth, healing, and connection
