Humans are wired for connection. Living our most true and authentic life requires a deep knowing and acceptance of who we are, and then bringing that self into our most intimate relationships.  

But sometimes our wiring gets crossed. Relationships with ourselves or others become misaligned and, forced to manage the pain of disconnection, we find ways to cope. But even our best coping strategies will eventually fail to mask the distress of a disconnected soul. Instead we find our mental, physical, and behavioral realities so inextricably intertwined that we exist in a web impossible to detangle on our own.

Wounding that began in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. This is why good therapy is effective. Together in treatment we will work to create a relationship that heals. One in which growth is possible because judgment is replaced with understanding, shame with feeling seen.  

As a therapist I work with individuals and couples in therapy to remove barriers to intimacy with ourselves and others. Together we will explore your inner world with a sense of curiosity and compassion to make sense of why you feel, think, and act the way you do. I will help you move towards the truest parts of  yourself, even if they are also the most painful, to discover that these parts are unbearable only if faced alone. 

If you are ready to work together, reach out to schedule a free consultation today. I would love to be a part of your journey in experiencing the transformative power of human connection.

I work to heal relationships with yourself and others.

As a former attorney and mediator, I spent years helping individuals and couples navigate the painful effects of separation. I witnessed firsthand the agony that disconnection will cause the human soul and it changed who I am and how I view people and their most intimate relationships. Today I am a postdoctoral fellow passionately committed to moving my patients towards the healing power of connection. Together in individual or couples therapy we can identify and remove barriers to intimacy and cultivate the most true and beautiful relationships that make life worthwhile.
