All humans are wired for connection – we need it on the most basic level from the moment we are born and throughout our lifetime. But humans are the worst! And the best! Humans are complicated. We need each other, we love each other, we hurt each other – we develop ways of reaching out for connection that might not be working anymore. This is where I come in. I work with people who are experiencing distress within themselves and in their relationships. We will identify the unhelpful beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, and then learning new ways of relating to yourself and others that make you feel…..dare I say it?… happy!

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re here because you are feeling disconnected from who you are, experiencing conflict in your important relationships, generally feel down and lost, or are just plainly curious about therapy, you’ve come to the right place. No matter what intersection of our identities we hold, and our unique history of lived experiences, all of us live through times where life just feels a little bit (or a lot bit) hard. Maybe you’ve lived in that difficult space for so long, it feels like your normal. Or maybe it’s really uncommon for you, that when it does happen, it feels like a shock to your system.
