Psychotherapy

People usually seek out therapy because something in their life is not going the way they want. I believe you are here because you also have hope that things can be better. This distance between what is possible and what is actual can feel excruciating. We often keep our deepest longings and desires hidden from ourselves because we feel so much pain from not having them fulfilled. It is anxiety-inducing to see that things could improve while living in a present where they have not yet. 

I want to help you use the anxiety and discomfort you are in to discover—to become conscious of—what you truly desire and what is most meaningful to you. 

As we get to know each other in this uniquely structured, but very real relationship, we will be getting to know you in a new and deeper way. A deepened connection with yourself will grow your capacity for meaningful connection with others. My approach is centered on my belief that we are all fundamentally relational beings, and that it is only through relationship with an other that we can change our relationship with ourselves.  

I believe we all have a deep need for relationship. We build and maintain our sense of ourselves through contact with others. Even our most destructive behaviors can be understood as rooted in this desire for connection and the pain we experience at not having it. In our culture, this burden often falls disproportionally onto our romantic partners. Whether you are in crisis or seeking to improve your communication and foundation, I aim to understand the space between you and the dynamic you are creating together. I work to uncover the deeper, more vulnerable emotions that influence behaviors and often feel so difficult to express.
