Initiating change in life is hard, but therapy can help you make movement in areas where you have felt stuck. I believe the work we do in therapy is not only about feeling better or gaining insight, but also about feeling whole. While the process can be difficult, it can also be rewarding. I enjoy doing this work with my clients and appreciate being a part of their process. I recognize how difficult it can be to find the right therapist and I’m happy to speak to you by phone for a free consultation. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

Making contact with our more authentic emotions and needs can be frightening, leading us to avoid them through behaviors such as numbing out, shutting down, addiction, dissociation, and many forms of self-injury. Navigating these stormy seas within ourselves can feel impossible to do on ones own. We're not meant to do it alone. Your hopes and fears, and unique experiences deserve to fall upon the ears of an empathetic and attuned listener who can help you find your bearings and begin the work of transcending impasses and breaking painful patterns in order to move towards the experience of greater transformation and aliveness.

Therapy is a valuable and enlightening tool that enables us to access, explore, and integrate our truest, most authentic version of ourselves and process big and small life events. My therapeutic space is a judgment-free, safe, and empowering environment where, together, we will work through whatever issues you face. I work with adults experiencing a range of issues from depression to anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity development, difficulty with life transitions, addiction, and self-esteem issues.

You are you, and nobody understands this as deeply as you. I approach our work from a humanistic, person-centered foundation that helps guide your innate strengths to discover, or re-discover, your authentic self. For some, therapy might look like a winding journey. For others, a direct path. Or it may be a mixture of both. I’m a relational therapist and believe that the fostering of a trusting alliance between us is essential to the realization of your unique goals of change and growth. I don’t believe that a “blank slate” therapist is a helpful one. I am human just like you.

I have always been curious to understand this strange, sometimes bewildering journey of being human. After over 20 years in the theater as an actor, director, and teacher, my own journey eventually led me to the disciplines of social work and psychotherapy.
