You find yourself ruminating about certain things and can’t get your mind to stop – maybe
about your body image, past events, or relationships. You’re feeling down on yourself, hopeless about the future, or depressed. You’ve tried everything to feel better, yet nothing seems to work. This is where our work comes in.

The goal of therapy is not only to bring relief to immediate distress, but to gain an understanding of how early experiences shape who you are today and what you can do to change your behaviors. Much of this is done through the therapeutic relationship and having a space to process, heal from, and work through psychological pain.
In our sessions, you'll find me to be warm, approachable, and deeply attentive. I'm committed to truly listening to your story and offering insightful perspectives to help you break free from old patterns and create a more fulfilling life. If this approach resonates with you, please do not hesitate to reach out by email, phone call, or text.
