Talk Therapy For Individuals and Couples
Individual Therapy
I utilize relational-psychoanalytic theory to support individuals. This approach explores the unconscious and how it impacts our relationships and patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll address feelings of anxiety or depression, reduce shame, and boost confidence.
I specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, relational challenges, trauma, and identity exploration, including LGBTQ+ affirming care. I also support clients navigating fertility, pregnancy/postpartum, chronic or pelvic pain, and sexual health concerns, and the emotional and relational impact of these experiences. I work with older teens and adults who are seeking deeper understanding, as well as relief.
What I Work With
Relational & Couples Work
Couples rarely fight about what they're fighting about. I work relationally to find the old pattern underneath the current one, so you're not just managing the conflict, but you're finally out of the cycle.
Anxiety & OCD
Anxiety that loops. Thoughts that won't let go. I use a relational-psychoanalytic lens to help you find what the loop is protecting you from, in addition to quieting it's noise.
Trauma
Trauma isn't only memory; it's held in the body, repeating itself in ways talk alone can't reach. We will work at the intersection of the unconscious and the somatic to bring it into awareness.
Fertility & Postpartum
Grief, identity, and pressure that's hard to say out loud. I hold space for what fertility and early parenthood stir up beneath the surface.
Chronic & Pelvic Pain
Pain that doesn't resolve changes how you live in your body. I work with clients navigating chronic and pelvic pain to rebuild a relationship with the body that isn't defined by pain.
LGBTQ+
Identity exploration deserves a therapist who isn't learning as they go. I offer affirming, informed care rooted in psychoanalytic depth, not just support.
Couples Therapy
I offer support for you and your partner as you navigate life transitions or conflicts. Together, we’ll observe your relational patterns as a way to move through stuck points. Often these dynamics originate in our family of origin - the first place we learn to relate to, and rely on, others. I often work with couples who feel caught in recurring cycles of conflict or distance, often having the same painful conversations but are longing for connection. As a couples therapist, I have been influenced by psychoanalytic approaches to couples work, EFT, and the Gottman Method.
