Supervised by Gary Hennemuth, PsyD 

My style is relational psychodynamic, attachment and trauma-informed, and present-moment-focused. One focus of my approach is to support couples in understanding and communicating deeper needs as a path out of conflictual gridlock. We will also work together to make unconscious patterns of relating conscious to create more choices. Furthermore, the couple exists within a larger sociocultural context, and sometimes, it is helpful to consider how things like gender roles and cultural backgrounds function in the relationship.

I am interested in and have experience working with ethically non-monogamous (ENM) and polyamorous couples. I am Queer, kink, neurodivergent, and psychedelic friendly. 

In terms of individual therapy, I have experience working with folks with complex trauma, familial and relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, bipolar, psychotic spectrum, self-esteem challenges, dissociation, grief, immigration stress, and folks in life transitions and experiencing identity shifts.
