You deserve a space where you can take an honest look at yourself and what happened, without being labeled, judged, or worrying about upsetting someone.
In our sessions, I don't need you to be put together or say you're doing better if you're not. You don’t have to perform, help anyone else, put aside your needs, or pretend everything’s fine. You can show up exactly as you are, and I will welcome you.
When you’re investing your time and money in therapy, you deserve a therapist who will nurture and challenge you. If I think I’m seeing something that you’re missing, I will bring it to your attention, with curiosity, so that we can explore it together. And when there is something that I’m missing, I invite you to tell me so that I can get it right.
When you work with me, we go slow to move fast.
This means noticing what parts of you are showing up in our sessions.
Together, we practice bringing compassion and curiosity to every part of you, exploring where they came from and how they impact you. When you understand what’s happening inside you, you no longer have to feel controlled by your trauma or repeat old patterns.
This is about connecting to yourself so that you operate from a place of alignment. This work is challenging, meaningful, and deeply transformative.
Individual therapy that complements couples therapy.
I have a background in couples therapy, and I bring this to our sessions.
When there's been an affair, individual therapists who aren't trained in couples therapy run the risk of undermining your marriage by overvalidating your affair, blaming the betrayed spouse, or unconsciously (or consciously) encouraging you to pursue your affair partner.
If you're in couples therapy, you'll have the option to sign a release so that I can work with your couples therapist in support of you and your marriage.
My commitment to you.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have thousands of hours of education and experience, and I continually hone my skill. I have undergone extensive training in Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy because my clients and work matter to me.
I have sat (and continue to sit) on the client side of the couch. It helps me be a better person- for myself, my family, my clients, and the world. I understand how hard (and scary) it is to start therapy, especially when you've done things you're ashamed of. When you sit across from me, I’m not judging you. I respect you for showing up and deciding to make a change.
