My Approach to Helping

More Info About My Practice

I particularly enjoy working with couples in all the varied stages of their relationships and the many complex challenges of staying together or, in rare cases, coming apart.

I work well with children and their parents, drawing on many years of experience, to establish an easy rapport as well as utilizing creative, age appropriate play to do therapeutic work.

I also work with refugees who have experienced trauma.

I have a self-pay scale which is negotiated with clients. My fee varies, taking into account the frequency of visits, the duration of service, and what is financially feasible for the client. Although understandably, financially, many people prefer to use their Insurance, there are some client advantages to not having to work through a third party to receive therapy.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am passionate about doing couples and family work and have had a lot of experience which keeps me humble and curious about the inner workings of complex relationships. My approach has been influenced by many of the experts in the field and, more recently, by IFS (Internal Family Systems). My own life experience and my work have kept me drawn to continuing to explore the sources of conflict and working together to find resolutions to discord which honor all concerned. I have a natural ability to see many sides of an issue and my training has
increased my ability to help people draw on their own inner wisdom for solutions. Life can be messy and prismatic (multi-faceted) but I have found there is a natural wisdom and hope in peoples' deepest desire for connection that can shine through all of the discord and distancing that can arise in relationships.
