At Cultivating Capacity, you'll find grounded presence, discerning insight, and emotionally intelligent care—always leading with depth over drama. This is therapy that invites rather than insists, calls forth rather than imposes, and always makes space for your own wisdom to rise.
My approach centers on a fundamental truth: Healing happens in relationship, not in isolation. Through collaborative treatment planning, transparent communication, and genuine respect for your lived experience, we create space for the transformation you’re seeking. Every session is designed to honor your wisdom while expanding what feels possible.
One-on-one therapy for women who've tried handling it all—gracefully, thanklessly, and alone—and are ready for something different. Whether you're sorting through trauma, questioning everything, or just need a tune-up, this is a space to be real, be supported, and begin again. I help women in all life stages as they explore their relationship with themselves, others, time, institutions, and society's expectations and failings. Therapy with me is 100% personalized and collaborative—no “cookie-cutter” treatment plans here. Based on your goals, strengths, and needs, I pull pieces from different therapeutic approaches as we create your treatment plan together and in real time. I bring the building blocks, and we decide as a team what feels like a good fit for you, for now, and for the future.

Couples and partnerships of all varieties are welcome—married, separated, divorcing, engaged, kink, LGBTQIA2S+, and partners embracing ENM or polyamory. If it's complicated, you're in the right place. I approach this work with a collaborative spirit, using an eclectic blend of methodologies tailored to the needs of your relationship. For clients who are interested or enjoy completing comprehensive assessments, I also incorporate Gottman Institute tools.

Families sometimes need a little help navigating both welcome milestones and challenging transitions: newborns, adopting a child, co-parenting after divorce, caring for ailing parents or a disabled family member, empty-nesting, and more. I also support families navigating the systemic barriers and cultural pressures that can complicate their relationships.
This service is open to families of two or more people (parents, children, extended family, siblings, multiple generations, foster family, adopted family, surrogates, etc.) The initial consultation can vary. For example, I might meet with the parents of young children or siblings who want to bring their aging parents to the intake. I meet with each person individually as well as the whole family as part of treatment planning.
REQUIREMENTS: All parties must agree to paperwork and no-secrets policy; parental consent for minor children; legal custody document review when applicable.
INVESTMENT: $250 for intake sessions (sometimes there is more than one),
