About Us

My approach to therapy allows clients the emotional space to examine situations without identifying as the problem themselves. It creates key exploratory distance between self and guilt or shame allowing for curiosity rather than judgment. I strive to elicit an experience that is empowering and illuminating. This is useful if you are seeking resources as a member of a couple or family where fear of blame is a common threat. Over the years, I have seen themes emerge amongst the clients that really gravitate towards my approach. Often, these clients identify as highly attuned, driven and sometimes perfectionistic. , Many of my clients find themselves in high profile career paths, something they note as a source of both pride and often tension or stress. Their work may come with a team of employees, a mass of followers, or a quiet and sacred idea that is burning to be brought into the world, one that excites, terrifies and plagues them with self-doubt. , You may identify with the loneliness that comes from seeing things differently than many of those around you. Perhaps this was true in your family of origin more than it has been a theme in your professional development. This sense of “otherness,” is another common trait amongst my clients.
