My website
I am currently providing telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Are you motivated to address family-of-origin, mood, or interpersonal issues in psychotherapy? I enjoy working with clients who want to improve their self-esteem and assertiveness, in particular people who would be considered late social bloomers (including socially awkward/mildly anxious). My ideal client wants to break out of self- or other-imposed limitations so that they can live a full life that is in line with their own sense of sovereignty.
I'm able to connect genuinely with clients and support them in exploring co-dependency and setting better boundaries in order to reach their goals. I offer warm, collaborative psychotherapy with a good dose of humor. I am trained as a generalist psychologist; however, co-dependency/boundary setting and late bloomers are my specialty/niche.
I know that starting therapy is a big step, and you have so many considerations in finding a therapist that meets your needs. If you are interested in exploring whether I might be the right therapist for you, please visit my website and consider scheduling a free brief consultation (by video or phone). I look forward to speaking with you.
