My practice focuses on individual therapy with adults and adolescents. With compassionate, nonjudgmental listening, I provide a supportive space where you can safely explore areas for healing and growth.

You may want to overcome or cope with difficult emotions, restore hope and confidence, repair or build relationships, create healthier patterns, or establish and maintain recovery. Therapy works. Through a therapeutic relationship over time, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and with compassionate awareness, experience meaningful growth.

Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations. You’re exhausted but afraid to slow down or say ‘no’ to others, fearing rejection or loneliness. Your inner voice is constantly negative & you want to stop it or change it, but you don’t know how to change it or even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself or even find yourself. This doesn't have to be your 'normal'. Life doesn't have to be this hard.
