If you appear functional on the outside, but inside you feel shut down, overwhelmed, or stuck in unexplained patterns, you have come to the right place. Many of the clients I treat are thoughtful, capable people who have survived difficult experiences. The strategies that once helped them survive, now leave them feeling exhausted, disconnected, and stuck. Does this sound familiar? 
Whether you have tried therapy before or are new to it, know that my work is not just about talking through your problems. I use evidenced based strategies to help your mind and body fully process what is keeping you stuck. You will go from simply coping to fully living, with a greater sense of calm, confidence, and connection to yourself and others.
Therapy can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. I am a human being first. Yes, I have information, tools, and strategies, but I won't pretend to have it all figured out. What I can do is offer perspective and take a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach. I will give you options and work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
