Ready to talk about it? It can be hard to make that first move, that first call. But whether you are in crisis or you want to understand why you are just "getting by", we can start now to figure it out together. Here, you will find a safe, inclusive and accepting space, along with a warm and interactive approach to exploring your story. Having trouble setting boundaries? Looking for new ways to communicate with your partner? Searching for a sense of self that has been lost - either in the context of a relationship or just in the struggles of daily life? These are only some of the challenges we can start to make sense of together.
Anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, boundaries and codependence are focuses for me, as well as couples work (straight, LGBTQ+, partners, family). I also have a heart for people who are feeling "other" in their lives, whether due to oppression or simply "not fitting in". I want to truly listen, be with, and understand YOU, so we can explore the way forward together.
Please feel free to reach out via e-mail to set up a 15 minute phone consultation, as I am happy to answer any questions. "Fit" is so important in therapy - creating a mutual trust over time is a key ingredient, and you want to feel comfortable with your therapist and their style.

When I think about trauma, anxiety, depression, people pleasing and the myriad of other challenges we unearth in therapy, there is often an arrow pointing right back at recognizing (and becoming comfortable with having) our own needs. It can feel selfish at first. But respecting our own boundaries helps "shore up" our sense of self. Then we have a more authentic self to offer to others.
