The word therapy comes from the Greek therapeia, meaning "attendance." That's the heart of the work, a concentrated, open, curious, and caring way of listening that makes room for you to explore your life. Therapy is a collaborative relationship one that creates space for you to come to know yourself in all your many facets, the way a mosaic reveals its whole only when each piece is seen.

My approach to therapy is integrative and relational, and it draws on depth psychology. Much of what shapes us lives just beneath the surface, in our patterns, our dreams, the images and stories we return to, and the parts of ourselves we've learned to keep private. Together, we can turn toward those depths with curiosity rather than judgment, listening for what they have to tell us. The aim isn't to become someone new, but to live a more embodied life.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, and there's no wrong one. You might want to look honestly at patterns or ways of relating, to yourself or to others, that no longer seem to fit. You might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, guilt, shame, fear, resentment, worry, or grief. However you find your way to the process we start with a phone call.

Reach out. When the time feels right, send a note to share a little about what's bringing you in. There's no pressure here, it's simply a way to open the conversation.

A first conversation. From there, we'll find a time to talk through what's on your mind and get a sense of what you're hoping for. It's also a chance for you to notice whether I feel like the right fit for you.

Decide together. At the end of that conversation, together, we'll choose the best next step. If it feels right to us both, we'll begin the work together. And if another path or another person would serve you better, I'm glad to help you find your way there.

Whenever you're ready, I'd be glad to hear from you.
