My approach is rooted in relational and somatic Gestalt therapy, which focuses on what is happening in the moment during the therapy session. Whether you're recounting something from your distant past or something that's currently gripping you, our attention will be on your awareness of how you feel right now––both in your body and with me. We'll explore how you get stuck in patterns and relationships that don't serve you, and also revel in the joy and delight with those that do. With this developing awareness, your palette of options expands and gives you the opportunity to choose a new way forward.
From the start of the session you play a role in the determining how we configure ourselves in the space together. This way of working ensures that I meet you where you’re at, and opens up opportunities for you to notice your immediate needs in the moment.
My specialties include work with:
anxiety and stress management

relationship issues
mood issues
sexual problems, including out-of-control sexual behavior
LGBTQ+ issues and sexual identity
substance use and recovery
