You want to feel better. You're tired of being anxious, depressed or drinking too much and ashamed of yourself. You can deal with your issues load and move forward. Often it doesn't have to take years for deep change to occur, but change requires you to work - that you can do.
Together, we can work through your emotions and stuck patterns, so that you can feel better. I am accepting, validating, challenging (when needed) and like to laugh. I can be a guide in your journey to having a better life.
I don't see clients with histories that include significant suicidality, violence, multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, significant trauma, and/or those currently in crisis, without prior discussion.

Dealing with challenging emotions in therapy is often hard work. We will work together to help you feel safe and up to the challenge. Other sessions can be filled with significantly positive emotions. After a session, clients often report feeling lighter, more solid and/or tired - like they just worked out.

I am a client-centered, experiential therapist. My main approach is Emotion Focused Therapy, but I'm not limited to that. Your experiences are what changes you. We will use chairwork, enactments, bodily sensations, imagery, dreams or movements, etc to engage your emotions to create new possibilities for your life. I am generally active in sessions. You won't be just reporting on your week.
