Hopeless, lost, depressed, overwhelmed, anxious? Maybe you feel like it's all your fault. It's easy to feel like there's something wrong with us when we need help, that we're not supposed to be vulnerable, that we're supposed to tough it out. Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is ask for help. There may be no perfect point where we can land on spectrums of intelligence, sexuality, gender, personality, or any of the identities we use to define ourselves. But our ability to move across these spectrums may make the difference between us feeling stuck in our day-to-day lives and being able to grow and change when we need to the most.

Life can be stressful and complicated. Juggling daily expectations and responsibilities is challenging in itself. On top of that, we all have unique stories that largely unfolded beyond our control and to which we have adapted, sometimes constructively and other times in ways that conflict with our needs. Most of us aren’t formally taught to manage these stressors, which can result in various types of emotional pain, such as anxiety, depression and trauma. My goal in therapy is to help you develop the tools needed to understand and change the areas of your life that no longer work for you in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
