Sometimes, when we break up, we also break open.
You’ve been broken up with, and you’re not dealing with it well. You’re heart broken. You feel like you might never find love again. You’re scared of being alone, and maybe even feel like life’s not worth living. Maybe, in the back of your head, a part of you thinks “is this normal?” Yes. Let’s talk about it.
Or maybe the opposite. You’re in a relationship that is unfulfilling. Part of you wants to end it: other parts are afraid or uncomfortable. You don’t know how to say it. Again, normal. Let’s talk about it.
You have an opportunity to meet yourself more deeply in pain than you ever have in joy. You can find the healing in yourself that the relationship never gave you.
What are you looking for?
I provide therapy for individual adults who are struggling with relationship issues using a modality called Internal Family Systems. Session are typically 50ish minutes. I only work with adults, and I take a couple different insurances: Select Health, EMI and United.
I can provide fee agreements for people who want to work with me but can’t use their insurance.
I am a queer affirming therapist, and am a joyful celebrant of the queer community. I specifically work with queer clients who struggle in relationships, both romantic and familial. The process of identifying and then learning to celebrate who you are also involves shame, fear and anger. I can help you with those moments, and with managing relationships that want you to be something different before they will accept you.
Maybe you weren’t broken up with: maybe someone you love died. Grief isn’t depression. It isn’t pain. It isn’t exhaustion. It isn’t missing someone deeply. It isn’t sadness, anger or desperation. It is all of those things at once, over and over. And it is made even worse by trying to cope with it alone. Grief fills the hole in our life where the loss is ripped from us. Let me help you cope.
I work with other therapists, both as a therapist and as a consultant. I separate the two, as I view one as giving practical advice and one as helping you to go deeper with your self awareness. Therapists are human too, and the loss of significant relationships can hit us just as hard. I want you to understand why, move through the grief with grace, and in learning to hold space for yourself, improve your competence with your own clients.
