My ideal client comes to therapy because they know they need something different than what they feel in the here and now. They may be experiencing anxiousness, stress, traumatic events, or have a history of abuse, neglect, or feelings of isolation, loneliness, or contempt for themselves or the world. There are times when clients feel like there is nothing out there for them.

As humans we can get caught up in being human doings instead of human BEINGS. This mindset can be invalidating, robotic and cause a disconnect between our heart and our minds. We can identify these traits and shift our perspectives by allowing ourselves the time and space to feel and heal. When we are validating, compassionate and kind to ourselves we can embrace our inner desires and experience deeper connections. Then, together, we can embrace the possibility of change and hope through therapeutic discussions and professional guidance. This degree of encouragement can be exactly what you may need to find your way in your journey.

Do you have relationships but still feel alone or unknown? Are your days busy but leave you depressed or unsatisfied? Do you wonder where you fit in and does your world feel small?

Therapy can be a key to finding these things. My work as a therapist is to provide safety, presence, knowledge, skills, and wisdom to help you find your path to your best life. I always strive to bring candor, kindness, practicality and depth to our sessions.
