Many people tell me they feel their struggles aren't significant enough for therapy. The truth is, therapy can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, relationship issues, or simply feeling stuck. Therapy is a safe space to address concerns that are impacting your happiness and daily life, regardless of the size or complexity. I provide compassionate and individualized care for adults experiencing emotional distress related to career stress, trauma, and substance use concerns, including individuals who have a goal of harm reduction or abstinence.
My work with clients centers around building and maintaining safety, trust, and a collaborative partnership. I use somatic and research-based treatment approaches. I also believe in using skills practice (aka therapy homework) with clients, and therefore it is an essential part of my therapeutic approach.
Please schedule a complimentary consultation to learn if I can meet your therapy needs. The best way to schedule a consultation is by scheduling directly from my website, or by sending me an email to coordinate a time to meet. I hope to connect with you soon. Let’s work together to build resilience, find healing, and create a healthier you!
