Choosing the right psychotherapist may feel overwhelming. Parents often decide to bring their child to see someone when there has been a recent life event that may have contributed to increased feelings of sadness, worry, or frustration.

You may have experienced narcissistic wounding as a child, feel caught in self-destructive patterns or low self esteem. Perhaps you yearn for meaning and a sense of belonging. Your life may feel marred by co-dependency, anxiety, shame or hopelessness. Maybe you just need a place to feel seen. Our work together can help you uncover your deepest needs and teach you to regard yourself with compassion and self-awareness.

There have been times I couldn't help but cry with people and I couldn't help but laugh. Suffice it to say I will join you, once you feel comfortable, being creative about finding out how to be the most alive...how to tolerate and move effectively through pain...how to live from a place of ownership, passion, love...how to just be...human. In a fast-paced world where connection and meaning are forgotten, we cultivate a space for finding yourself. Go at your pace and take seriously your story and explore ways to make changes or even start to figure out what changes you may need in your life. Life is a process for us to see about.
