Specialty
Whether you're navigating a painful ending, struggling with patterns that keep showing up, or carrying feelings you can't talk about with the people in your life — this is a space to work through all of it.
Begin HereWhat Brings People Here
A lot of people come to individual therapy for relationship issues not because their relationship is in crisis, but because they keep noticing the same things in themselves — the way they shut down in conflict, or can't stop trying to fix things, or feel anxious when someone doesn't respond quickly, or lose themselves in relationships without quite realizing it.
Others come in the aftermath of a breakup, sitting with a lot of difficult emotions and a lot of unanswered questions. What went wrong? Could it have been different? How do I get out of this feeling? What do I do now? Sometimes it feels less like grief and more like being stuck at the bottom of a deep, dark hole with no clear way out.
These patterns usually have deep roots. They were adaptive at some point — they made sense given the relationships and environment you grew up in. The work is about understanding where they came from, and developing the capacity to choose differently.
You can do this work whether you're single, partnered, navigating family dynamics, or processing a relationship that ended.
How I Work With This
One of the most powerful things about therapy is that the relationship between therapist and client becomes its own laboratory. The patterns you bring to other relationships will show up here too — and we can work with them in real time, in a safe context.
One of the reasons people seek therapy for relationship issues — including breakups — is that it's often hard to talk to friends or loved ones about what's really going on. There's a fear of being judged, or of burdening the people close to you, or of saying things out loud that you aren't ready to share. This is a space where you don't have to manage any of that. You can be fully honest about what you're feeling, including the parts that are hardest to admit.
I work in a relational, depth-oriented way. We'll look at your attachment history, the patterns that have formed over time, and what underlies them. I'll be direct and warm with you — and I'll notice things, name them, and invite you to look at them honestly.
The goal isn't to make you someone who doesn't have needs or fears in relationships. It's to give you more freedom in how you respond to them. Sessions are virtual throughout California and Colorado.
