My approach to therapy balances down-to-earth, human connection and clinical expertise. My clients have often learned to rely on shutting down, emotional unavailability in relationships, rebelliousness, substance abuse, distraction, over-achieving, adrenaline seeking, perfectionism, anger, fierce independence, or any manner of escape to get them through life. I focus on empowering my clients to approach emotional experiences and to face their reality, so they can reach their potential for success in their relationships, family dynamics, career goals, health or passions. I have a unique way of connecting with those who have never really clicked with traditional therapy. I specialize in helping emotionally avoidant clients allow themselves to be understood and challenged. I work with families and partners of those who are highly defended to deepen connection and break destructive patterns. My clients want a therapist who will be radically honest, keep them accountable, teach them how to accept help and affection, and laugh at the absurdity of it all with them. My passion lies in those powerful moments when my clients let down their guard to trust closeness when they feel vulnerable.
