Welcome

Since 2012, I have helped adults, children, and families find greater joy, fulfillment, and ease in their lives through therapy. I am here to help you carry your emotional load and navigate a new path forward. Though it can be difficult, it is very much possible to move forward in your life, and it would be my pleasure to be part of that journey with you. 

Therapeutic change begins with the relationship between therapist and client. As I therapist, I hold space for my client's true self - even when they cannot. I make room for the parts of themselves they are proud of, the parts they are embarrassed by, the feelings they struggle to manage, the thoughts that scare them, the experiences that have shaped them, and the strengths that have gotten them this far. I do no judge, but rather help my clients shape all of this into a coherent narrative that motivates them to move forward. 

At some point, we have all felt overwhelmed by a feeling. Sometimes in therapy, we are able to find ways to effectively battle against the feeling so that it no longer overwhelms you. Sometimes, the best way to manage the feeling is to give it permission to be with you and gently ride it out. And sometimes, when the feeling is rooted in an experience from the past, it is best to process the experience in such a way that it no longer has a hold over you. I help clients identify the strengths they have as they bravely face difficult emotions and help them navigate the choppy waters of recovery.

Feelings can tell us when something wrong. It is important to listen to our feelings, but they do not have to take over your life. My goal in therapy is not to get rid of feelings, but to make them more manageable and to help you gain insight into yourself and your strengths so that you are ready to face these feelings when they come up again in the future.
