As your therapist, it’s my goal to create a comfortable space in which we can work together to take stock of your current situation, identify what’s most important to you, and practice strategies that will help you create a more fulfilling life. Our work together can include looking at habits that no longer help you, practicing mindfulness strategies to help you connect to the here and now, and clarifying what values you care about the most moving forward. We can set goals that help you get where you want to be, and practice strategies to help you get there.

Imagine facing the world with a sense of confidence and peace instead of fear or shame. Imagine looking at your partner and being filled with feelings of love, gratitude, and excitement.
