My Approach

“As the blade of grass begins to grow through the cracks in the concrete landscape, without denying the formidable concrete, we focus in on the blade of grass.”- Diana Fosha

You don't have to go through it alone. Even when we are feeling stuck and overwhelmed, meaningful change is possible. I take a solution oriented approach that applies modern techniques for exploring and shifting old patterns of feeling and thinking that are getting in the way of growth. Employing curiosity and compassion, we can heal wounded parts and build new connections to your authentic self. A primary focus of my couples work is to practice new ways of communicating our needs more effectively with both our partners and ourselves. I also specialize in supporting the unique concerns and strengths of the LGBTQIA+ community. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

I am a level 2 practitioner of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). My work with couples integrates elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Collaborative Couple Therapy. My approach is Consensual Non-Monogamy, Polyamory and Kink affirmative. I also have extensive training with Motivational Interviewing for substance use issues.

I approach therapy as an opportunity for clients to develop and practice new skills in a safe and affirming space. I have benefited from my own personal therapeutic journey as well as a high pressure former career in the corporate world. I bring these experiences with me when guiding clients through big life changes and the challenges of balancing the demands of work while still setting aside time and energy for ourselves and the people we care about. I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 30 minute consultation so we can explore how I might be able to support you.
