It’s fascinating being human! Life is by turns beautiful, heartbreaking, joyful, & messy. We live in particularly challenging times of climate emergency, social division, & political upheaval—so much fear & anxiety afoot—on top of our immediate day-to-day ups & downs. Contemporary experiences of chronic stress, social isolation, & exhaustion contribute to higher-than-ever rates of anxiety & depression. We’ll collaborate to clarify your needs & focus our work together, to empower you with knowledge of various psychological tools to engage in your quest for self-understanding, growth, connection, healing, & coping.
As innately social creatures, we thrive in healthy, supportive relationships—with ourselves & others—defined by good boundaries. When challenged by inevitable life transitions, grief & loss, and relationship conflicts, relational, CBT, & narrative therapies can heal. From “small t” to “large T” trauma, EMDR Therapy offers a highly effective tool for relief.
Finding a psychotherapist who feels like a good fit is essential. If a therapist with warmth, empathy, years of clinical experience, and a sense of humor sounds like a good fit, let’s spend a few minutes talking to see if we click. If it doesn’t feel right for you, I’ll be happy to provide referrals to other outstanding professionals in the community.
