By the time you get to this point, deciding you need help and seeking out a therapist, you have made an important first step towards feeling better. You may be going through a difficult time and do not know how to break out of it. I use my 15+ years of experience to help people through painful times and hard changes. I work collaboratively with you, prioritizing what you would like to work on.
I usually look at the role your relationships play in your current situation. I also help you to understand and accept your feelings. I have worked extensively with people who have experienced trauma. I also work with people who are struggling with their identity.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to meet!

At this point in my career, I tend to use several treatment modalities, depending on the person I am seeing. I especially like to use Internal Family Systems because it helps clients better understand, in a truly nonjudgmental manner, their feelings, behaviors and thoughts.
