I believe in human resilience, in the potential for growth and change. I believe that pain arises through the endurance of invalidation, violation, or incongruence of one’s self, and that these experiences are what bring us to therapy. Therapy is a powerful opportunity to explore and discover one’s resilience through a relationship that encourages growth in a nonjudgmental, supportive environment. As a therapist, I am committed to creating a space for healing in which we can explore your life stories of both pain and joy, where you feel heard and validated, and where you can make the changes you seek.
I work with adults with a variety of life circumstances and conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, LGBTQ+ identity, and grief. I also specialize in trauma/PTSD, attachment difficulties, and family of origin issues. I draw from a range of modalities in order to honor the uniqueness of your person and your individual needs.
It takes courage to make change, and you don't have to go through this alone. By reaching out for help, you have already taken the first step. My hope is that, through the therapeutic process, you may grow to experience your self and your relationships in a more authentic and meaningful way. I look forward to helping you discover yourself and make change.
