Individual Therapy
Many of my individual clients are insight-oriented and seek help uncovering the unconscious habits and patterns that are no longer serving them. I work with individuals on a weekly basis and have experience with a wide range of presenting concerns from stress and anxiety to serious mental illness. I specialize in psychotherapy with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, human sexuality and relationship issues. I also enjoy working with people around identity issues. For some clients this may be coming out as an artist after a career in law. For other clients, this may be reconciling a conflict between religious and sexual identities. I use an integrative approach combining psychodynamic, interpersonal, humanistic, mindfulness and third-generation cognitive behavioral perspectives.
Relationship Therapy
If you are here for relationship therapy, your relationship is the client. I have experience working with couples around communication, alignment of values, and sexual compatibility. I work with those in all phases of the coupling and the uncoupling process, as well as those navigating non-traditional arrangements. Marginalized relationships, particularly those in the LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, kink, polyamorous and interracial communities are welcome. In Relationship Therapy, I draw upon psychodynamic theories, family attachment styles and patterns, and the development stage of your relationship to help you uncover the patterns that cause challenges. Sessions are typically 50 minutes with occasional 80 minute sessions when appropriate.
Consulting & Coaching
My consulting and coaching work is separate from my therapy clients, and is primarily focussed on helping individuals make the leap into self-employment and private practice. I help people align their careers and business with their values, including consulting on business development, marketing and strategy. My prior experience in the corporate and non-profit sectors, as well as experience building several businesses informs my coaching and consulting. I also have advanced training specific to leadership development and coaching. Over the years, I've coached people considering career changes, non-profit managers, NGO managers around the globe, entrepreneurs, realtors, and therapists.
