Are you burned out from "imposter syndrome" at work, stuck in an unfulfilling relationship, or feeling perpetually disconnected and isolated? Living inauthentically can feel exhausting. I work with individuals and couples to provide a range of therapy services from short-term evidence-based treatment for anxiety/depression to long-term relational work. Mental health is about having choices; in our first session, I am excited to get to know you and walk you through the process of therapy. My goal is to help you release painful emotions, reflect on patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner freedom.
I believe the active ingredient in therapy is the relationship and trust we build. Each person brings into therapy their unique life experience; my work begins by holding in mind the sensitivity and resilience of those who come into my office. My style is warm, attentive, and non-judgmental, as I view emotional safety being the foundation of our treatment.
Anxiety and emotional pain are part of being human, but you don't have to suffer alone and I am here to help. Through our work together, I will provide a safe and containing space for you to release emotional pain and struggles while fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and reconnecting with values that will guide you towards a fulfilling life.
