Have you read a dozen profiles and feel overwhelmed? I’ve found the right fit is often more about personality and who you "click" with. People who reach out to me are often high-functioning individuals feeling worn down or overextended. Some feel sad, stuck in worry, or caught in overthinking. Sometimes there’s a clear stressor, like grief or relationship challenges, other times it’s harder to pinpoint. Whatever the case may be for you, I’d love to help. We can talk through your experiences, gain clarity, and develop practical tools to improve your day-to-day life.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave and meaningful step, and I want to honor the courage it takes to even consider this process. Sometimes the need for change grows quietly until it feels too heavy to carry alone; at other times, a loss, stressful transition, or unexpected challenge creates urgency. Whatever brings you here, therapy can provide a safe place to pause, breathe, and begin untangling what feels confusing or overwhelming. In this space, you don’t need to have everything figured out or present yourself in any particular way.

Positive change is always possible and change itself is inevitable. Therapy can allow for the types of changes you want by freeing yourself from patterns that lead to stress, conflict or withdrawal from life. Are you dissatisfied with life and do not know why? Having the courage to admit that life is not going well is the first step to changing what you need. I have more than a quarter century of working with multiple challenges with individuals, couples and families. There are lots of avenues one can explore in therapy to enable any individual, couple or family to get what they need.
