Individual therapy and interpersonal process groups for a more connected, authentic way of living
Welcome
Real change is possible. Not the kind where you learn to cope better, but the kind where something actually shifts inside you.
I’m not interested in surface fixes. And if you’re here, chances are you aren’t either.
Some people come for deep individual work, to understand themselves more fully, one-on-one. Others find that the patterns they most need to change only become visible in connection with others.
There’s a place for both here.
There’s a place for you here.
ABOUT
I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years. I work from a place of respect, honesty and genuine curiosity. I stay committed to my own growth and try to be as real as I humanly can.
My training is grounded primarily in Family Systems, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). These approaches pay close attention to where we came from, the parts we carry, and what gets in the way of real connection.
The first group any of us ever belonged to was our family. That is where we learned how to be seen, how to be loved, and what to do when we weren’t. Group therapy works because it brings all of that into the room. And individual therapy works because sometimes you need someone attuned entirely to you to help you find what got buried along the way.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Many people come to individual therapy because they notice patterns that keep repeating. They may have tried everything they can think of to figure it out on their own. They may have even tried therapy before. But something still isn’t working.
Individual therapy with me is experiential and relational. We work with what is happening between us in real time, because that is usually where the most important information lives.

ONLINE GROUPS
Early in my career I joined an interpersonal process group for therapists and walked out more myself than I had ever been. I have never forgotten what became possible in that room.
When people commit to showing up authentically with each other, things shift. Patterns become visible. What could not move alone begins to move. If you have ever sensed that the next step in your growth might involve more connection with others than working things through alone, that instinct might be worth following.
