You're here, so I’m guessing that something doesn’t feel the way you thought it would. The excitement you had for your future has faded; you’re grieving change, feeling helpless facing the unknown; you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, worried, or hopeless-trapped in familiar patterns. The reasons we struggle are as diverse as our backgrounds and perspectives. But the desire to be known and heard-to hope for meaning, freedom, and joy-is universal. Reaching out for help can feel risky, and you may wonder if your struggles are worthy of someone else's time (and whether it will even help). You have taken a courageous first step.
I believe that we all possess the capacity for growth and health; my role is not to repair something broken but to build the trust and unconditional acceptance required for healing. I integrate present experiences with your unique personal history, as here-and-now experiences are best understood through the lens of development and significant attachments.
It takes courage to consider trying something new; change-even for the better-is scary. But I'm so glad that you've found your way here, because you deserve to be heard and understood, to receive help, and to thrive. If you are willing to take this next step and consider the possibility of something different, it would be my privilege to hear your story.

I utilize an integrative approach that prioritizes the unique needs of individual clients. After an initial exploration of a client's concerns, we collaborate to determine an appropriate approach. For some individuals, a shorter goal-oriented method such as CBT is most appropriate, while others benefit from a more extended treatment that allows for exploration of complex, chronic issues.
