I have two sliding scale spots opening in November for clients who cannot meet my full fee. Inquire for details! I offer couples therapy and mental health counseling. I specialize in working with clients in stigmatized and under-represented relationships: queer folks, consensual non-monogamy, kink, long distance, poly. Though I use a wide range of techniques, my main approach is somatic internal family systems therapy. Somatic IFS helps us uncover the ways different complex parts of you interact to protect you and shape your experience. 50-minute sessions are $135, and 75-minute sessions are $180.
I work with couples and individual adults who feel stuck. In therapy, we identify the patterns that keep you from the change you want. I will help you reach those goals by creating a supportive space to explore, reflecting back what I observe, and sharing what I've learned from a decade of studying relationships and mental health.
I have spent the past 9 years as a researcher studying romantic relationships. While I love that part of my job, it usually takes 5-10 years for research discoveries to make their way into your therapy session (which is too long!). So, I became a therapist to be part of the hard work that couples are doing every day.
