As a therapist, my clearest purpose is to help clients to alleviate debilitating symptoms of anxiety, depression and confusion. We do that in two major ways: one, finding the sources of the symptom and exploring the origins together and two, treating the symptoms with personally tailored, evidence-based interventions. As we participate in the treasure hunt of therapy, we battle pirates, feel the rain on our faces and build new structures for shelter along the way. Imagine building a map together where X marks the spot. What is your X? If you don't know, let's find out together.
Being a therapist is a natural fit for me: I am fascinated by psychology and take great care and joy in tending to my patients. I combine my innate talent with rigorous intellectual effort and deep personal work, both of which equip me to handle and help with the most challenging and painful of emotions and conditions.
I've been in therapy for 10+ years (and counting) and been offering therapy for 10+ years (and counting) and have a good idea of what it's like on both sides of the couch. Therapy has changed my life in profound ways. I'd love the opportunity to share this powerful resource with you. In therapy, both the therapist and the client are changed, forever.
