Change is hard, especially when we feel stuck in some way. We may find ourselves feeling anxious, depressed, in unhealthy relationships, repeatedly drawn to the wrong people, overwhelmed, frustrated, burned-out and unhappy in our career or with life in general. Therapy helps you find a new way forward and is a vital tool for making meaningful change. Through this process, you gain insight and awareness about past experiences keeping you stuck and I'll help you identify strengths you already have, and how to use them in more adaptive ways, so you can move through challenges and feel more fulfilled and confident in your everyday life.
My goal is to create a warm, thoughtful, engaging, and supportive space where clients can deepen their self-awareness, overcome unhelpful patterns and anxiety, discover new perspectives, and ways of connecting with others. My background is rooted in a psychodynamic approach, but I use a variety of modalities based on what will work best for you specifically.
If you've never been in therapy before, getting started can feel overwhelming or maybe you've been struggling to find one who feels like the right fit for you, which is so important. The relationship you build with your therapist is a crucial piece for your therapeutic growth. Reach out to see if we're a good fit or how I can help you through this process.
