Do you describe yourself as a perfectionist, a people pleaser, highly sensitive, or overfunctioning? Do you struggle with low self-esteem, assertiveness, and having fulfilling relationships where you feel seen and valued? Do you look like you have it all together, but inside you struggle with feeling anxious, depressed, or inadequate? If you answered yes to any of those questions, I can help. I specialize in working with adults who want to understand, work through, and change these tendencies in order thrive.
If you answered yes to the questions I asked above, chances are that you feel deeply and think a lot. My approach to psychotherapy takes those qualities that you might find challenging and turns them into strengths we can leverage in service of your healing and growth. We can transform them into capacities for self-reflection, insight, and change.
I strive to be respectful, authentic, and compassionate in my work. Creating deep, sustainable change can be a long but worthwhile process. Let yourself start today. Let's talk about how we can work together to help you. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to prospective clients.
