While the ebb and flow of strong emotions and life stressors are a natural part of being human, do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed- like you're barely keeping your head above water? Perhaps your usual coping strategies don’t seem to be working as well anymore. Maybe self-criticism makes it difficult to feel deeply connected to others. Or you might simply feel a longing for more meaning and fulfillment in your life.
In therapy, my approach is collaborative and compassionate. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and explore how your past experiences- including anxiety, depression, challenging relationships, or traumatic stress- may have shaped patterns that once helped you cope but may no longer serve you.
I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful force for healing. My style is warm, present, curious, and engaged. Starting therapy can bring up many emotions, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. I’d be happy to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
