People often come to therapy when something within themselves or the world around them doesn't seem right. This could mean that you are experiencing significant mental health symptoms, struggles in your relationships/family, facing a major life transition, wanting to change unhelpful behaviors/thoughts, or feeling like you wish you were someone else. Regardless of the reason, you may notice how these struggles interfere with the fulfillment in your life. In therapy with me, you will have the opportunity to engage in the process of discovering where these struggles came from, how they impact your life, and how they can be changed.

A therapeutic relationship can provide the support and encouragement needed to help understand and change destructive thoughts or behavior patterns, confront ones past issues with compassion and make positive life changes.
