Being a human is overwhelming. Our attention and our emotions are constantly in flux, captured by new problems and experiences. Surviving is hard enough, let along finding peace, pleasure, or joy. It’s easy to feel carried away by everything, much harder to slow down and find rest, especially when we sense that difficult emotions are waiting for us there in the quiet. It’s uncomfortable to feel. It’s safe to say we’d all like to feel less. It’s a frustrating truism that the only way out is through. That to grow we have to open up to ourselves and to the world. We have to process things we’ve let get stuck, so we can be…
…freer and lighter in the present. I became a therapist because I can attribute all of my growth to people who have been kind enough to listen, and listen well. My work is dedicated to helping you identify what you feel, respect it, and integrate it into a fuller sense of who you are, what you need, and what you want out of this strange thing called life.
The most common presenting issues I treat are depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, ocd, relational challenges, personality disorders, grief, and struggles to find meaning.
