Beginning therapy is similar to summoning the courage to open an over-flowing closet that has been long ignored. Though daunting, with the right tools and an understanding guide, the task can become a manageable and rewarding experience. As your guide, I can help you shine a light on emotions, experiences, and relationships that you may be afraid to touch due to fear, shame, or uncertainty of how to process them. By utilizing an integrative approach, I help my clients assess and move through their emotional experiences while also applying new skills to help them reach their innermost personal goals.
I believe the therapeutic process is meant to instill hope and help clients to discover a new understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. I structure my therapy sessions as a collaborative process that should work to diminish anxiety and unlearn self-deprecating patterns, guided by the client’s personal story and experiences.
I specialize in individuals dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, those moving through life transitions or on a journey of sexual exploration, as well as couples managing intimacy or communication issues. However, I welcome individuals and couples of all ages, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, and sexual/gender identities to my practice.
