Are you struggling to get over something or someone? Life can throw us curve balls that we don’t expect and don’t want. If you’re trying to end a relationship, improve a relationship, or get over one – whether it’s a significant other, family member or friend – it’s hard to see the road to feeling happy again especially if that relationship was difficult or toxic. Therapy can help you understand and manage the emotions and negative thoughts that can go along with changes in life. Growth isn’t easy, and you don’t have to work through it alone.
Whether you’re sad, angry, anxious, traumatized, depressed, or overwhelmed, I can help you get to a better place. Think about therapy as kind of like a road trip. You’re the driver. You set the pace, the destination, the side trips. I’m like your GPS. I guide you on this trip, give suggestions, and help you get to where you want to go.
I work to create an environment where you'll feel comfortable and safe to say what you need to say the way you need to say it. I am a member of the LGBTQ community and have done extensive (and continue to) work to decolonize my practice. Reach out if this sounds like it would be helpful.

I pull from a lot of different types of therapy practices when working with my clients. What works for one person doesn't always work for someone else. I am respectful of what you need and how it helps you. I do often lean towards learning the why, but if you don't want to dig into your past we do not have to.
