Conscious Crux Therapy

Conscious Crux Therapy offers in-depth therapy for individuals and couples, with attention to the body as well as the story. Experiential coaching with mindful climbing is available for those who want another way in.

Most people arrive with a pattern they can name and can’t stop. The anxiety that loops. The same fight. A grief that doesn’t have words yet. I listen closely, to what you say, to what you don’t, and to what your body keeps track of. The work is slow in the ways that matter, and it’s down to earth.

This work is for people who want their symptoms taken seriously, and who are also curious about what those symptoms might be pointing to and what they’ve been asking for.

I work with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship struggles, and with questions of identity, sexuality, fertility, postpartum, and chronic pain. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and open to every relationship structure.

My work is relational, and it takes the body seriously. So much of what shapes us lies beneath awareness, and much of it is carried in the body. We pay attention to both, in words and in movement, and make room for the many sides of you, including the ones that disagree. Over time, we move toward the hardest places, your cruxes, and find new insight, acceptance, and meaning there.

Our Services

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy

I utilize relational-psychoanalytic theory to support individuals. Together, we’ll address feelings of anxiety or depression, reduce shame, and boost confidence.

Couples Therapy

Couples Therapy

Couples rarely fight about what they’re fighting about. I work with partners of every relationship structure (monogamous, polyamorous, open, undefined, etc), and with whatever lies between you: desire, loss, the places where intimacy has gone quiet. We trace the older pattern beneath the current fight so you can get unstuck.

MINDFUL CLIMBING

Mindful Climbing

I utilize rock climbing as a therapeutic lens to help you connect with your body and move through distress. I work with both first-time and experienced climbers and will address your individual needs and goals. 

(Un)conscious: Inaccessible aspects of our minds that lie beneath our awareness but impact our thoughts and behaviors. 

Crux: The hardest and most important part of a problem - in both climbing and in life. 
"Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable."
