Heartbreak Happens

She sat quietly, fully on top of her hands, and one foot on top of the other.

Tears dripped onto faded jeans. “I don’t know if I want to face this – it might be easier to just lock it away forever and never look back.

Then I could just go on like nothing ever happened…”

Anticipation is a big part of getting to a first appointment for therapy.

When someone comes to my office, we sit and check in about the moment – comfortable? Ever been to therapy before? Thirsty?

The office is small – cozy – some have even called it a tree house or loft.

There’s a couch, lots of windows, plants, and an ambiance of quiet light.

I remain curious and invested in you and your story.

We’ll take the time we need to wade into the conversation, creating a tone that does not judge and has room to expand – in whatever direction you decide.

Whatever brought you to my office is important, meaningful, and needs our work together to become more clear, settled, and bearable.

Our work together is always grounded in theory.

Attachment theory, Psychodynamic, and Systems thinking find their way into our understanding of you.

Relational therapy helps someone to become more conscious of how they might become more effective with people in their lives, whether partner, family members, or colleagues.

I have been in private practice for 15 years.

Each person who shares their story with me teaches me about courage, vulnerability, perseverance, and the resiliency of the human spirit.

It’s an honor, really, to be part of amazing growth. My dad always said that he hoped I would find work that I loved showing up for everyday – and he would be pleased to know I have.

Let’s grow!

There are many benefits to therapy, but let’s just name a few possibilities.

Psychotherapy can help establish healthy relationships, create coping strategies for a wide variety of difficulties, and prevent issues from becoming more relentless and complicated to understand.
