Limited Availability – Openings in Process Group! You’ve been considering therapy, but something always seems to get in the way. At times, it feels hopeless—or maybe you feel hopeless. You wonder, What’s the point? Can therapy really help? You’ve tried talking to people in your life, but you feel like such a failure. You worry they won’t understand—or worse, that they’ll reject you. No matter how much you try, it never feels like enough. The disappointment lingers, and you start to ask, Am I enough? If you’re curious about therapy, this is your chance to break free from old patterns and move forward. You don’t have to stay stuck.
Here you are, considering taking a big step—opening up to someone new. It’s not easy to imagine life feeling different, but deep down, you want change. You long to quiet the critical voice, feel happy, connected, and enough. You're exhausted by comparisons, shame, and the weight of feeling responsible for everything. You don’t have to carry it all alone!
I'm here to support you in discovering what "happiness" means to you and finding a path forward when you feel stuck. My approach is rooted in modern analytic therapy, and I am often described as warm, compassionate, grounded and authentic. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR and specialize in trauma and addiction. Together, we can work toward your goals.
