Feeling understood, feeling helped, and feeling supported are at the core of psychotherapy. Therapy can help when life’s challenges become too much to approach alone. Together, we can explore and understand difficult issues you are experiencing. Some common therapy goals are to understand important relationships, alleviate anxiety and depression, work through life transitions and losses, deepen self-understanding, and unlock troubling stuckness. In a safe setting with warmth and engagement, I provide an opportunity to gently move through what is bothering you most.
I began my career helping children and families understand how early life experiences can impact one’s sense of self as an individual as well as in relationships. Often understanding your underlying emotions and beliefs provides new perspectives and ways of relating. Through this process you can gain new tools and relief from old patterns.
I approach my work with children, adults, and couples with an open mind to your experiences and a commitment to a deep listening presence.
