My goal is to help my clients function at their highest level to lead their best lives. When feeling depressed, anxious, stuck, angry, or otherwise emotionally overwhelmed, it can be difficult to effectively participate in society. Human beings are inherently social and our well-being depends greatly on our ability to relate to others. Psychotherapy can help to improve interpersonal relationships, reveal insights about ourselves, highlight opportunities for cognitive and behavioral growth, and provide the support to take steps toward a more satisfying future.
I provide in-person and online counseling to humans from the age of 11 years on, including EMDR, Gottman Couples Counseling, sand tray therapy, play therapy, art expression, CBT, psychodynamic therapy, client-centered therapy and self-psychology. I believe that race, gender, and disability are social constructs.
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health (in fact, the two can't be separated). I follow the motto: "Give a person a fish, and they will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, and they will eat for the​ rest of their life." Please contact me for a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to learn how to fish.
