Change can feel hard if you aren't really sure how or where to begin. Whether you're feeling anxious, depressed, stuck in challenging relationships, burned-out and unhappy at work or with life in general, therapy is a great place to start. Together we'll pave a path forward and you'll move through challenges by identifying strengths you already have an learn to use them in more tangible ways. Through this reflective process, you'll uncover how past experiences or patterns still impact you today, understand yourself or relationships in a new way and gain insight, which is a powerful tool for long-lasting and meaningful change.
My goal is to create a warm, thoughtful, engaging, and supportive space where clients can deepen their self-awareness and self-esteem, overcome anxiety, discover new perspectives, and adaptive ways of connecting. 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.
