I work with individuals and couples who feel they would benefit from a warm and honest space for self-exploration, personal growth, and healing old wounds and patterns that no longer serve.
Therapy can be many things: processing a difficulty, metabolizing emotions, expanding self awareness, understanding triggers, recognizing defenses, seeing choices, clarifying needs & boundaries, updating narratives, reclaiming personal responsibility, repairing trust & connection, holding things more lightly, a space for personal & interpersonal development.

Therapy is a partnership and relies on both sides of the relationship striving for transparence, flexibility, and mutual coordination while working toward the desired goals of the individual.
While we possess many innate tools to cope effectively with adversity, there are many factors that can serve as barriers to achieving and maintaining a healthy balance in life. Whether these barriers relate to internal processes or external circumstances, I believe that it is often beneficial for us to practice vocalizing our experience to others. Doing so can serve as a protective factor, helping us to cope more effectively with any radical internal monologues that may pop up from time to time.
