Whether your goal is to find yourself, improve your relationships, break the cycle of dissatisfaction and unhappiness, gain new coping skills, or generally improve your quality of life, reach out and see if I might be able to help you.
I work with adults, teens, children, and parents, using age-appropriate approaches to support the therapeutic process. Adult therapy focuses on uncovering strengths, core wounds, and deep-seated narratives that shape self-perception. I help clients recognize how long-held patterns, often seen as maladaptive, are simply ways we have learned to get our needs met and survive in a complicated world. Teens need a safe, private space, where they feel heard and understood, leading to open expression, self-awareness and healing. My work with children incorporates play and metaphor to access deeper psychological layers.
