Find clarity in current relationships, and healing from past harm.

Individual Therapy Online and In-Person.

Let's Begin

Is your relationship with a loved one bringing you stress instead of the warmth and connection you long for? Maybe you have clarity about why but aren’t sure how to shift the current dynamic – or maybe wrapping your mind about what’s going on lands you in a messy and confusing place.

Your source of stress may not be from a current relationship at all, but you’d like to find healing from relational hurt or trauma in your earlier adulthood or childhood. Perhaps you hope to find or grow in a healthy relationship. Or your goal may be to simply live more peacefully day-to-day with yourself and with those you love.

Some of my favorite relational work is actually done in individual therapy!

My Areas of Specialty

  • Relational Stress: In case you haven’t noticed, this is kind of my thing. Sometimes your loved one may not be willing to do relational therapy together, in which case I’d love to help you with your side of relational patterns that lead to feeling unseen, stuck, or under attack. I’d also enjoy supporting you as an individual while you’re in couples therapy.

  • Recovery from Interpersonal Trauma: If you’re still experiencing the effects of past trauma or abuse, this area and the symptoms that come with them may need some focused attention and care. I’ll pace and taylor our sessions to match your needs in a way that doesn’t re-traumatize you (too fast, too direct) but also that helps you stay in that sweet spot where you are actively healing (not too slow or avoiding the pain altogether).

  • Spiritual or Religious Concerns: Some of my clients seek me out because I’m comfortable and happy to incorporate your spiritual or religious beliefs and values into therapy when that’s relevant to our work together. For example, if your story includes an element of faith – whether you’ve experienced this as a source of strength, of harm, or both – I’d love therapy to be a place where you can bring these experiences, confident I’ll hold them care and attention.

  • Parenting: What’s more relationally rewarding – and also challenging – than parenting? Not a lot, as I’ve learned from my own experience and those of my clients. If parenting is something you’d like to discuss, I’d welcome this, whether you’re looking primarily for a listening ear or for active input on responding to a child’s behavior, managing your own stressors and triggers, etc. I also love going upstream to ask big-picture questions, as helpful, such as “What significant changes might I need to make in my family culture, values, and expectations to set myself and my family up for long-term success?”

What it’s like to work with me…

  • Attuned Care

    I believe the single best thing I can offer you is attunement — which is to say, as we talk together I’m watching your non-verbals, I’m checking in on you and how what I’m saying is or isn’t helpful, and I’m here to repair when something doesn’t feel right to you.

  • Reflecting Back

    As I notice something that’s keeping you stuck or is coming up repeatedly for you, I will point it out directly. I always strive for humility here — what I’m reflecting back to you may or may not feel accurate and that’s okay. We explore together.

  • Challenging You

    Whenever possible, I like to keep you on the edge of your learning and growth curve — not pushing you too fast or too far, but always looking out for what you might not see from the inside and challenging you towards growth, healing, and whatever goals you may bring to therapy.

For those living in Greater Boston, I appreciate the chance to meet in person at my comfy office in North Cambridge! And when that’s not feasible, I also offer virtual therapy.
