I can't imagine getting much out of only hearing “uh-huh" or the overly used, “how does that make you feel?”. Therapy is most effective when it's a conversation. Occasional use of humor and swearing can help create an uncensored and honest therapeutic relationship. I work well with people who experience anxiety, depression, or those who are having a difficult time connecting and communicating with their partner(s). Patterns are difficult to break whether they are behavioral or having the same conversations over and over again; I’m here to help break those patterns and help establish new and more effective ones.
I’m passionate about working with individuals and relationships who feel as though they have tried everything and their lives still aren’t what they want them to be. I believe between the two of us we can find a solution. If you are feeling stuck, it helps to have someone in your corner and work with you to find the areas where you can become unstuck.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task, one that we take on during moments of distress and when we are in need of help. I offer a free 30-minute consult for you to interview me. During that time, you are free to ask me any questions or voice concerns in order to help you decide if I'm the right therapist for you.
