Many individuals may see you as the person that has it all together, but on the inside you feel very different. The emotional disregulation you are experiencing is becoming to much. You are your own worst critic and feel defeated in life. Feeling lonely and isolated even when around others. No one knows or understands the perpetual anxiety and depression that continues during your daily living. Your loosing sleep because of the racing thoughts that just won't leave. Going through life constantly thinking that there is something wrong with you is leading to destructive and suicidal thoughts. Your at the point of giving up.

It is a brave step to seek out therapy. Together we will create a safe and curious space to explore what led you here and the way it may be impacting your life and relationships. We all carry pain, grief, shame, anxiety and fears; we will work together to understand these and move toward healing and growth. I recognize that we as humans are not raised in isolation, but our families and systems around us impact how we experience life and function in the world. We will aim to discover the “whys” behind the feelings and reactions and move away from judgment toward self-compassion as you navigate the ups and downs of life.

Some people ask why I became a couples therapist, and my response is: "I was born a therapist." I enjoy the uniqueness of each client and their situation, how they have attempted to solve their problems, and how they are stuck.

Being the person I ask others to be, holding each person with tenderness and creativity while we move toward their goals is transformative in the therapeutic process.
