Who This Is For

I work with individuals, not couples. People come to me because the same argument keeps happening, because they go quiet when they want to speak up, or because family visits leave them feeling like a teenager again.

Many are not getting where they want in relationships or at work, and they suspect the pattern starts with them. That is a good place to begin.

What We Work On

  • Repeating conflicts

    The fight that seems to be about the dishes and is really about something older.

  • Family conflict

    Old roles that snap back into place at holidays or in caregiving.

  • Speaking up

    Saying what you need without exploding or shutting down.

  • Work relationships

    Partners, cofounders, or teams where tension is affecting what you are building.

How I Work With Relationships

We look at what happens inside you in the moment a conflict starts. With Hakomi, we slow that moment down. You might notice your shoulders lift or your voice drop before you have even decided how to respond.

Psychodynamic work helps connect those reactions to the relationships where you first learned them. When you can feel the pattern starting, you have a choice about what comes next.

What Sessions Look Like

  1. Free phone consultation

    20 minutes to talk about what is happening and whether I am a good fit.

  3. Real conversations

    We take actual moments from your week and look at them together.

What Can Shift

With a steadier sense of Self, other people's moods don't knock you over as easily. The goal is to stay connected to the people in your life and still be yourself in the room.

Questions People Ask

Do you see couples?

No. My practice is individual therapy for adults. You can work on your side of a relationship with me.

Is family conflict something you work with?

Yes. That includes tension with parents, siblings, and adult children.

What if the problem is mostly at work?

That counts. Many of the people I see are entrepreneurs or working artists whose work relationships carry a lot of weight.
