“Is it safe?” That is the essential, unconscious question embedded in the interwoven fabric of all relationships. The desire to know how safe it is to be their authentic self, to share their wildest dreams, deepest fears, or maybe even discover something new together. Similarly, as an individual, you may ask the same about your identity. What is your story? Are there problem stories impacting your relationships? As your therapist, I provide a warm, inviting, safe environment where we can explore areas of concern and dig into the topics in need of care and attention.
I offer a collaborative approach to psychotherapy informed by evidence and research-based modalities proven effective for individual adults, teens, couples/romantic relationships, and families striving to understand themselves and their unique identities. Together, I can help you discover what your potential is begging to reveal to you.
Finding the right fit for a therapist is vital and can be a challenge. That’s why I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discover how well we vibe. Together, we can build a path toward the life you want to experience...one by your choice, and your voice. Whether it be in person or in the comfort of your own home via telehealth, I can help. Let’s chat.
