Are you struggling in your relationship? Does it feel like your partner doesn’t understand you? Perhaps the happy moments have given way to conflict and mistrust.
If you’re living in the Bay Area, you might be grappling with the pressures of work and your relationships. Do you find yourself easily angered, or feeling lost and isolated? Do you find yourself sabotaging yourself, messing up your potential? Are you overly critical of yourself and those around you? It might be time to seek a healthier balance and learn to practice self-compassion.
As a specialist working with men and couples, I help individuals step back and reevaluate their issues with a fresh perspective, with curiosity and empathy. You can come to feel more anchored, forge deeper connections with those important to you, and enhance your interactions both at work and at home. Through our work, you’ll learn to be more present in your relationships, build a stronger sense of self-worth, and discover a clearer sense of purpose in your life.
How You Relate
Some of the ways I’ve helped people include:
- Healing complex emotional trauma from prior relationships
- Bringing more clarity to emotional dynamics in relationships
- Working with ADHD, neurodiversity, cPTSD
- If you’re too hard on yourself, working with the inner critic
- Making sense of difficult relationship experiences, past and present
- Understanding cross-cultural and temperamental differences in relationships
- Exploring and managing strong emotions and emotional reactivity
On A Personal Note…
I grew up mostly in the U.K. and and have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than two decades. I bring a warm, grounded presence, an active curiosity, and an international, cross-cultural perspective on the things you bring in to talk about. I welcome individuals of all races and identities, and people who feel they don’t fit in.
Starting therapy is simple! Open up your deepest thoughts and feelings to a complete stranger. Maybe you’ll be judged, or raise eyebrows as you fumble to describe the embarrassing emotional territory that is your life. Well, I can’t stop you from feeling these things, all I can do is attempt to reassure you that I’m not a judgmental person, that you will probably experience me as grounded, warm, thoughtful, a good listener, and will meet you where you are at. Ultimately, though, you must take a small risk. Therapy is a very personal experience, and one size does not fit all, so we would start with a single session, or a few sessions, to see how it goes, before deciding to “start therapy.”
