Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Or maybe, despite many outward accomplishments, you're feeling unfulfilled or empty inside, struggling with relationships, or contemplating a significant life transition. If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, I am here to help. With several years of advanced training and experience, I use an an integrative, holistic, and individualized approach to therapy. My style is warm, engaging, and collaborative.
Research has consistently shown that one of the most important components of successful therapy is the relationship between the therapist and the client. Authenticity, trust, and connection are essential. I offer a safe and supportive space to help you manage distressful thoughts and feelings, and to navigate difficult life experiences.
If you're interested in working together, please send me an email or give me a call. I offer an initial consultation at no cost. During the consultation, you can tell me about what you're looking to work on in therapy, you can ask me questions about my background or approach to therapy, and we can get a feel for what it would be like to work together.
