It happened so gradually that you barely even noticed. You’ve spent so long going through the motions of life, slowly feeling more detached with each passing day. Now, you look around and wonder how you got to this place and where you’re supposed to go from here. Your motivation has all but disappeared, and you’ve completely lost track of your end goal. So many people are counting on you, and you don’t want to disappoint them – but things can’t go on this way. “Surely there must be more to life than this!” you tell yourself repeatedly. You know something desperately needs to change, but you don’t know how. It all feels so hopeless.

As a family systems thinker, I believe that each individual, couple, and family belong to many different demographics, impacting our responses, outlooks, and narratives in understanding that there is an understanding that no one client is the same.

My goal as your therapist is to create this type of environment in a collaborative effort to find the right fit.
