Therapy is useful if you find that your thoughts or emotions are getting in the way of enjoying your life. For some, this means uncomfortable feelings are limiting their ability to fully engage in activities, relationships, and work. For others, thoughts of the past or future might be distracting or distressing. Other people may look to the outside world like they are doing well, but internally they feel they are struggling or that they are not reaching their potential.

I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

My ideal client would put as much effort as they are ready to in that moment, day, or week to continue prioritizing their mental health needs.
