Unpretentious psychotherapy for big, ambiguous, dread.
I'm a depth-oriented psychotherapist specializing in helping adults define themselves, process trauma, and feel more connected in relationships with friends, family, and partners.
My practice combines humor, depth, and real relationships to help clients learn to like themselves.
Are we a good fit for each other?
The clients who find me want to feel like they are talking to a real person. I’m a good fit for people seeking help with big, ambiguous dread and those who feel a general disgust with the current “wellness” crazes.
I believe a lot of the products or messages we are sold to help us feel better are more about keeping up appearances than they are about the truth of how messed up our world is, and all the lengths we will go to to belong somewhere.
Initial reasons people reach out:
Feel lonely and rejected by the people around you, and anxious that the life you've fought to create will collapse in on itself.
A profound feeling of not belonging anywhere.
Feeling haunted or even cursed by your childhood, your past choices, or by a larger power.
A sense that you’ve gotten as far as you can on your own, with a wariness for anyone selling a quick fix.
I believe what is hurt in relationships is healed in relationships.
With friends or family members, it’s rare to talk honestly about your experience of being with other people, and you don’t usually get real feedback about yourself. In a therapist-client relationship, we get to bring unspoken truths to the surface. Over time, we establish the trust and mutual respect necessary to have a truly transformative experience.
In sessions, I am direct, active, and honest. Mutual trust is essential for the difficult work of looking critically at the things that have made you feel confused, stuck, and scared. I favor depth and a strong relationship over one-size-fits-all solutions.
