Has your life started to feel more challenging? Do you feel like something is wrong or less fulfilled? People seek therapy at various stages of their life to address their challenges. Sometimes you might know why, while other times it can be confusing or difficult to pinpoint. Therapy not only can help you understand your sources of stress but also to improve symptoms that prevent you from feeling your best. Together, we will work to support you, face challenges within yourself, work towards your goals, and, most importantly, improve your own sense of a life that is meaningful and fulfilled.
I specialize in affirming work with the LGBTQIA+ community. My clinical areas of focus include depression, anxiety, transitions, trauma, and grief. I predominantly use psychodynamic and attachment approaches, supplemented by cognitive approaches, to guide my work leading to a style focused on understanding how your past experiences inform who you are today.
Starting therapy can be tough and it’s important to find a provider that’s a good fit. To help, I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation. Email to book a consultation today! I look forward to hearing from you!
