MFT - (at Better Living Through Better Communication)
MFC #53590

Do you need help with relational issues and have you found therapists who lack understanding or who have judgements about your lifestyle? I specialize in gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. I work with LGBT+ individuals, couples, and other relationship groupings, artists, Burning Man attendees, and others who have felt judged or misunderstood by therapists. I am BDSM and open relationship knowledgeable. I also enjoy working with therapists-in-training who are doing their own work to become better therapists and with new parents struggling to figure how their lives have changed. I have completed Level 1 Gottman Method training as well as Level 1 Internal Family Systems training.

I offer expertise in communication, polyamory, and open relationships. I am interested in exploring new archetypes for masculinity and femininity. I support people creating rites of passage in their own lives: emerging from the family as a differentiated individual, the transition into parenthood, the beginning or ending of relationships.

Having attended Pacifica Graduate Institute, I approach the work from a Jungian background. I enjoy working with archetypes, dream material, play therapy for adults, and exploring past experiences for present benefit. I also use Family Systems Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to help clients find more harmony in their lives. Call for a free 20 minute phone consultation and start your journey.
