Wrestling depression, anxiety, complex PTSD, relationship problems, or alcohol and drugs? Do others see you're at odds with yourself or your circumstances? Inner conflict, harsh self-criticism, rigid thinking, and refusal to accept yourself are blocking a life you want. Therapy doesn't need to last years nor require endless focus on the past. You can decide what to work on and have a say in the direction of that work. There are solutions for what's happening, and sometimes just seeing and keeping focused on these brings change without attention to much else. At other times it's more complicated. Give yourself room to explore.

Early life events lay a foundation from which we operate unconsciously. Acute or recurrent exposure to trauma may impact your ability to feel regulated and valid.

Therapy is a space for you to explore your life without the fear of judgment, shame, or reservation. My approach to the therapeutic process is relational. Through an alliance that is therapeutic in nature, wellness can grow.
