Are you feeing overwhelmed and stuck but are nervous to ask for help? I'm glad you're here. My approach to therapy is largely Person-Centered – meaning I respect what feels most important to you and will follow your lead. We will work in a non-directive manner with curiosity and compassion, as I recognize that you are a person with unique qualities and experiences. I strive to learn about you as a full person and become familiar with all of your parts - the happy, the sad, the angry, the scared - at a pace that works for you. Together, we will work collaboratively to achieve your goals and create the life that you want.
I work with adults of all ages experiencing a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship and attachment issues, life stressors/adjustments, grief/loss, chronic illness and the effects of all kinds of traumas. I tend to use humor and empathy to connect with and support you through your journey of healing and discovery.
I encourage you to listen to your gut but also, to take a chance. Imagine what it might feel like to put yourself first. Although the work is hard and can be uncomfortable, I am here to support you and help you find your best self. Upon reaching out, you will be contacted by Turning Leaf Therapy's intake coordinator to help you with the next steps. Thanks!
