We can then work together to decide which approach to trauma processing is best for you.

You know your thoughts are “just thoughts,” but you struggle with change. It’s difficult to fall asleep - or stay asleep. You would never say the things you say to yourself, to those you love. You want to make time for you, but you feel guilty. You are there for everyone, but you. You worry about that thing you said, or that thing you did, or that thing you didn’t do that you really wanted to. You want change. You can‘t get rid of that tugging feeling that there is more to life. You want solutions. You want the compassion you give so freely to others, for yourself. You want to show up for yourself. You want to LIVE, not just exist.

Are you looking to make changes in your life but not sure where to begin? I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for exploring the obstacles that are getting in the way of creating the happy and satisfying life you want.

Therapy is hard work but a worthy work and it is a privilege to be a part of your journey and helping you discover, heal and grow beyond your current circumstances.

My job is to help you work through life's challenges so that you can attain a greater sense of wellbeing and fulfillment. I start with listening carefully to how you construct the world and identify problems. It is important to first understand where you are before we work towards where you want to go. Sometimes, it's important for me understand where you've been too, but I certainly do not want to dwell in the past. Most people want to be more connected to the present, while also orienting themselves toward positive future aims. This is precisely what our work will be about.
