Modern life is uniquely challenging. We try to shape and mold ourselves into what we think we “should” be, and in doing so, we often lose touch with the most precious parts of ourselves. When we lose touch with these childlike parts, we keep ourselves from forming the close attachments that make life worth living. I work with my patients to help them embrace their natural curiosity, explore the existential questions that we push aside in daily life, challenge the negative self-talk that holds us back, and engage more fully in the pleasures that life can hold.
I am open, honest, and authentic with my patients. I want to learn who you are, what makes you laugh, what you find beautiful, what excites and inspires you along with what troubles and concerns you. I absolutely adore this work, and I believe this passion shows in the strong and deeply meaningful relationships that I develop with my patients.
I have great respect for anyone who seeks out therapy, for it is one of the most courageous and important things you can do for yourself and for your future. Despite how depleted you feel right now, asking for help is evidence that you are stronger than you realize. It would be my honor and privilege to help you find and grow that strength.
