We suffer greatly at the hands of our own self-criticism and self-judgment. As a result, we may set unrealistic expectations for ourselves, be crippled by self-doubt or engage in self-sabotaging behaviors. I support my clients in learning to reduce the power of their self-criticism and instead move toward a more kind, compassionate and loving relationship with oneself. This relationship improves the quality of our lives and is the foundation of self-worth and well-being.

I utilize an attachment-based model called Emotional Focused Therapy to provide couples and intimate relationships with the guidance needed to move from conflict and disconnection to a greater more secure intimacy.

Sexual and gender diversities are natural expressions of the human experience. I offer affirming psychotherapy to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. Whether you are exploring your sexuality and/or gender expression or identity, struggling in relationship, transitioning, dealing with the impact of marginalizing experiences, family planning or parenting, I would be honored to work with you.
