Do you struggle showing up for yourself? Life can be challenging, whether you are facing the normal adjustments of adolescence, such as building your self-esteem or working to develop a sense of personal identity, struggling to express your wants and needs, or making sense of how to navigate your relationships with family members or romantic partners. Perhaps you’re a new father, adjusting to the rapidly changing dynamics of your family life. Do you find yourself feeling unable to “get it right”, or having trouble showing up for your partner?

Working together, you can expect to learn to identify and communicate your underlying emotions, facilitating the expression of your deeper (and currently unmet) emotional needs. By trusting in the therapeutic process, we will join forces, starting exactly where you are; slow things down, and form an actionable plan to meet your goals and highest potential.

Attachment wounds from early relationships are incredibly common, and yet creating a sense of secure attachment in your relationships is not only possible- it’s very much within your reach. My clinical style is both warm and empathetic, and I look forward to introducing you to the person you are becoming. Let us have a conversation.
