How I Work
MY APPROACH
Rooted in Jungian psychology, my work explores what is trying to become conscious through our relationships, emotional struggles, dreams, and recurring patterns.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms or conflict, we explore the deeper psychological life beneath them—the fears, longings, and unrecognized parts of ourselves seeking expression.
As these aspects of ourselves become conscious, we become freer to relate to ourselves and others with greater authenticity and intimacy.
COUPLES THERAPY
At its heart, couples therapy is about helping two people move beyond their defenses and share the more vulnerable feelings underneath—sometimes feelings that are difficult even to recognize in ourselves.
My work begins with curiosity and compassion, helping partners slow down and truly hear one another—not just the words, but the fears, hurts, and longings beneath them. Together, we explore the emotional patterns that keep couples stuck and how those patterns might begin to change.
Central to this work is learning to welcome the otherness within ourselves and each other—the unfamiliar or hidden parts of ourselves and our partners that we may not yet fully understand.
As partners become more curious about their differences, they learn to stay connected through difficult moments rather than falling into blame, defensiveness, or withdrawal. Deeper intimacy grows when we can be more fully ourselves while allowing our partners to be fully themselves, too.
INFIDELITY & AFFAIR RECOVERY
Infidelity creates a profound rupture in trust and emotional safety. Healing from betrayal begins with acknowledging the pain, establishing honesty and accountability, and creating the conditions necessary to rebuild emotional safety.
Together, we explore the deeper psychological dynamics surrounding infidelity—unmet needs, longing for aliveness, attachment patterns, and unconscious motivations—without minimizing the betrayal or excusing the choices that caused it.
Reckoning with infidelity can become a profound psychological turning point.
Whether partners choose to rebuild their relationship or part ways, this work can lead to greater self-understanding and a renewed capacity for trust and intimacy.
I also work with individuals exploring relationship patterns, navigating life transitions, and deepening their understanding of themselves.
COACHING & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
I also offer individual coaching to deepen self-awareness, explore relationship patterns, and navigate personal and life transitions.Coaching is distinct from psychotherapy and does not include mental health diagnosis or treatment.
Coaching may be available online to individuals outside California.
