Waitlist for new clients
I work alongside clients to help them develop a more balanced, integrated, and grounded sense of self. I believe that through therapy, clients can gain more in-depth awareness of their emotional experience, their thoughts and behaviors, and how one’s past may inform one’s present. This awareness can help create space for self-acceptance and self-compassion, and cultivate personal growth and desired change. I find that my approach to therapy tends to be a good fit for people who are looking to gain insight and understanding about themselves, not just looking for skills to manage symptoms or "quick fixes."
My areas of focus include working with anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, relationship/dating challenges, relational trauma, issues with self-worth, and codependency. I have particular clinical interest in working with adults to understand the impact of growing up with parents or primary caregivers who were emotionally unavailable.
My goal in my therapeutic work is to create a space where clients feel accepted, safe, and supported to explore any and all aspects of themselves and their lives. Through this journey of exploration, clients can achieve personal growth, new perspectives and skills, and hopefully, a greater sense of self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.
