Compassionate Therapy for Loneliness, Anxiety, Depression, and Low Self-Esteem. Are you struggling with loneliness, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Have recent life changes left you feeling groundless, stuck, or lost in life? If you're looking to feel more confident, successful, and connected, I encourage you to reach out. As a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist, I focus on increasing insight, self-understanding, and meaning. I specialize in helping individuals with low self-esteem, unfulfilling relationships, life changes, grief & loss, and meaning-making.
In therapy, you'll receive direct, individualized, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed care. I integrate Existential and Philosophical perspectives, utilizing Experiential and Relational Processing. Compassion, humor, humility, and here-and-now relating are at the core of my approach, aiming to build a sound and trusting relationship.
I emphasize personal choice &responsibility, creativity, love, and authenticity. I welcome you to reach out and schedule a free intro call to see if we’re a good fit. I’d love to embark on your therapeutic journey together.
