It can be difficult to talk about mental health and illness. Sometimes we feel as though no one is truly listening when we ask for help. Whether you are struggling to push back against overwhelming despair, fears of tomorrow, or crushing sadness due to loss, I am listening. If it is your own, private journey or perhaps difficulties with a relationship, I am listening. Maybe you aren't sure what is real and what isn't, or maybe you feel trapped in a body that is not you, I am listening. Perhaps you have been shunned or turned away by friends and family simply because of who you are. I am listening.

People seek therapy for a multitude of reasons, often complex ones. I work with clients to acknowledge the complex situations and reasons that brought them to my counseling room, and to identify solutions to implement in order to move forward. Don't allow the complexity of a situation to make you think it's impossible to solve. I work best with folks who take change seriously, knowing that it takes changing your thoughts and actions to promote change in your life. I like assigning assignments both inside and outside of session, as I believe this brings about sustainable and longstanding change.

I enjoy working with clients who come to me in crisis with some awareness that their existing coping resources and skills have been overwhelmed to the point they need some help to grow through the situation. Though it typically begins concretely with stress and conflict management, this work often deepens into fruitful reexamination of personal values, family dynamics, problematic relationship patterns, and existential or spiritual themes. I see individual problems as often having been forged in the crucible of one's family of origin, which has often severely limited one's ability to respond well to all of life's demands.

Have you been called sensitive? Experience the pain of poor body image or disordered eating? Use substances, shopping, scrolling or other behaviors to cope? Tend to isolate or withdraw from close relationships? Have trouble trusting others? Are afraid something may be deeply wrong with you? Often wonder who you really are? Maybe you have been to multiple therapists looking for answers but have yet to find yours. Or you've tried different medications and none of them seem to do the trick for very long. Perhaps the solutions previously offered are leaving you frustrated. If your answer is yes, come hang out with me for a while.

Are you feeling stuck in your life? Do you feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausted, confused, or disconnected? It's easy to get stuck in our patterns, ways of functioning in life become habitual, and often these patterns become damaging to us- personally and relationally. What's more, it's not always easy to see exactly where we are getting stuck and how to move beyond that place. I offer support, encouragement, and trust as you begin a new journey toward healing and growth.
