Whether or not you're new to therapy, seeking treatment can feel hard. Maybe you hold a stigma about mental health and mental illness. Maybe you don’t want to “start over” with a new therapist or your past experiences with therapy were not so great. Maybe it simply felt too daunting to address the issues that have led you to my website.
Whatever the reason may be, you’re here now.
Confronting ourselves and our emotions can be painful, and I can’t promise it’s going to be an easy journey. In fact, if we’re really doing the work, it’s going to hurt sometimes. Until it doesn’t.

Working on Our
Relationships with
Ourselves & Others
Some people come to therapy to address a specific issue like anxiety, depression, a breakup, etc., and we can certainly work on those. But many people many people come to therapy to work more broadly on their relationships with others and with themselves. Unhealthy relational dynamics often contribute to anxiety and depression, and we will use our therapeutic relationship as a tool to help you better understand yourself and how you interact with others in ways that may not be working for you.
Through our relationship, you will get the opportunity to express difficult emotions and navigate conflict. Sometimes this can feel uncomfortable, but it will lead to growth. I will help you address defenses and patterns that no longer serve you, and together we will replace them with ones that do.
In our work, you will learn how to unlock your pain, build on your strengths, recognize your value, and hold onto your goodness. I believe you will find a place inside yourself that feels good enough and you will learn to live a more intentional and enriching life.
