Sometimes, even when trying our best, life can still be overwhelming. Thoughts of not being good enough- or maybe being "too much"- wondering if it's all supposed to feel like such an uphill climb. And will I be able to love, be loved, feel confident, change, thrive? Can things actually really get better?
If this sounds familiar, perhaps it's time to finally get the support you deserve. I serve individuals and couples of all stripes- parents, students, blue collar workers, differently abled folks, healthcare workers, those in recovery, previously incarcerated... Whoever you are, you're human, and we have that in common.
My approach is rooted in compassion and highlighting your inherent strengths. Every person has strengths- whether we know it or not! With couples my approach is attachment-focused. I am trained in the first level of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). I am trained in EMDR, and also offering group as well as individual Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.
I welcome you to this next step along your journey and strive to offer a place to come as you are without the burden of judgement. Being a human is hard, no matter what you have been through! All of us deserve support.
