About
If you’re here perusing these therapist profiles, it’s probably because something’s not quite right. Maybe you hate your job, feel stuck in it, or have trouble finding one that feels congruent for you. Maybe it’s some turbulence occurring in your relationship– or the absence of a relationship when you long for one. Or perhaps life is forcing you to adjust to something that's pushing you past your limits to deal.
Or you feel like you've lost your ability to enjoy life, even when things are objectively great. The goal of therapy is not ONLY to feel better, but ultimately, to fully enjoy life. That process begins with learning what you need in order to feel joy.
If any of these scenarios sounds like you, please reach out and let’s talk. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations to learn about you and your needs. I would love to help you learn to shift from surviving to thriving.
