Don’t give up. You are not alone. When we are experiencing emotional pain, healing occurs when an empathic and compassionate therapist helps you to explore and understand what your psyche needs. Pain is inevitable at times in our lives, although suffering does not have to be. Emotional discomfort is the signal from your psyche that change is necessary and crises and challenges can be opportunities for our psyche to heal and grow. If you have experienced a loss, are trying to manage conflicts with a partner, friend or colleague, or you are seeking to improve your relationship with yourself, therapy can be helpful.

Do you want to develop healthy coping skills to manage and alleviate distress, anxiety and/or depression? Find support and stability in the midst of losses? Discover new possibilities during life transitions? Cope with health challenges? Gain self awareness and confidence? You want to find a place within yourself where you feel comfortable after a time of transition, accumulated stress, loss or trauma. I hope to be able to help you.

Above all, therapy is a relationship. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a safe, trusting, and attuned relationship that we can use to explore problematic patterns of relating, work through emotional tensions and conflicts, and better understand themselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to unravel those patterns that keep people wondering, "why does this keep happening?", fully experience emotions, develop a greater sense of self-awareness and vitality, and understand how the past impacts and influences the present.
