who I serve

My people are the deep thinkers and deep feelers — those who appreciate a gentle if persistent guide for their own thoughtful self-reflection and ethical action.

I particularly love supporting queer folks, couples, and parents through anger and grief.

I work with relationships of all kinds including romantic and sexual partners, friends, parent and teens or adult children, and adult individuals facing challenges in their connections with self and others, whether they are hoping for repair or resilience after rupture. I am adept at working with people who are:

• disengaging from repetitive conflicts

• weathering grief

• facing issues of anger and resentment

I am explicitly welcoming of LGBTQIA+, kink, and CNM/polyamorous relationships.

what to expect

I view therapy as a process of identifying your own values and preferences, and determining how best to live in accordance with them. My role is in facilitating a process of inquiry and reflection.

I can help you explore the role of problems and the operation of power in your life, and how you wish to relate to both. While there is ample space for emotion, the conversation doesn’t end with how you feel, but continues on to consider what you want to do.

My focus on intention and agency is rooted in Narrative Therapy. As a narrative therapist I collaborate with people to consider the cultural, familial, and personal stories that try to tell them who they are. Together we consider whether they want to adopt or resist those stories, and we imagine and create new ones. This isn't a means of identifying what's wrong with a person (or their partner, or their mother), but a way of claiming a life of dignity and power.
