We are living in a surreal time. Things that may have felt difficult prior to the pandemic carry a very different load now, as we learn to navigate life with Covid. While the idea of therapy may have felt radical before, it can now offer us a roadmap to developing greater internal strength to steer through the uncertainty. It is deep within our unconscious that we meet our true selves and can then begin the profound work of developing mechanisms for the lives we are seeking. I view it as a great privilege to bear witness to the strength that emerges from the courage of confronting the vulnerability of our own psychology.

Are you noticing behavioral/emotional changes with your child? Is your child having difficulty regulating their emotions?

Here you are, looking for answers, looking for hope. Self esteem is the container in which we strive to live. Acts of self empowerment are those things we use to build this container. Care, compassion and love support growth and empowerment. Come on in! Let’s talk about building an awesome and vibrant life for you. A safe space to grow in. I work from an interactive and relational standpoint. I don’t just sit there and reflect, nod my head and say ‘tell me more’. Here we explore who you are, who you want to be, who you were, and all the bridges and tunnels between those identities. Let’s examine and build on who you are meant to be.

People may think you are excelling on the outside but feel anxious, sad, or angry. You feel like two people live inside you, one that lashes at those you care about and one that feels guilty after. You spend your weekends trying to unwind through happy hours and dating, but once the thrill fades, you feel drained again. You may wonder if your use of alcohol, the internet, social media, or video games gets in the way of you finding your purpose and living your best life. You find injustice impedes your ability to express and truly empower yourself.

I provide compassionate therapy tailored to your particular needs. Together we would set goals and work to bring the needed changes into your life.

I also work to help you explore and strengthen your higher values and whatever you find most meaningful in your life.
