Services

I offer sessions both in person at my office at 1226 Hollis Street and virtually online or by phone.

I am currently holding a waitlist for new clients.

If you are looking to book your first appointment with me, I will contact you for additional information about what you are seeking through therapy and how I can help. We can also schedule a short chat or consultation.

Individual Therapy

$180 (60 min)

I provide individual therapy to adults toward improving insight and coping. I have counselled individuals across all genders and orientations, and have a particular interest in nurses, physicians, and first responders; military, veterans and their families; survivors of sexual violence and trauma; those who have experienced coercive control and/or what is commonly called narcissistic abuse; relationship issues, and life transitions.

Therapy Session

Couples Therapy

$225 (75 min)

Being in a relationship takes work. We bring not only our present selves to the relationship, but also our past experiences, hurts, trauma, and needs. One partner can trigger the other unconsciously. Unless these underlying issues are repaired, the same pattern will persist. Understanding this dynamic and helping find ways to shift it can significantly improve our relationships.

 

We can work together to navigate some of the tougher issues that arise, such as those involving trust, blending families, non-monogamy, experiencing a rough spell, or simply the impact of daily stress and transitions.
