You have to feel better to get better. That may seem obvious, but it really isn't. When I begin to work with a new patient, I have two immediate goals: To get to know this person so we can determine if we're a good match; and if we are, to use my years of experience and skills to target current areas of damage and hurt. People come to therapy in pain — something or many things in their lives aren't working. Our job is to take a breath, appreciate your unique situation, understand when and how current problem(s) became unmanageable or toxic, and then find ways to feel better, more hopeful and clear about how to proceed back to life.

Clients that typically find it rewarding to work with me are people who find themselves tired of trying to "fit" themselves into small spaces that do not truly honor the complexity of who they are spiritually, culturally, or with their sexuality. They want to start living more fully and authentically, and want to free themselves of old relationships and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in old cycles of habit, obligation, and resentment. They make small changes and build insight over time so they can live more fully, authentically, and intentionally as their embodied selves.

Therapy to me, in the most basic of senses, is about what is possible when two people form a genuine relationship. That is what I strive to do with my clients, show up as my full self and use what I have learned to help support them however they want to be helped. In my experience, when two people show up as their full selves and are willing to put in the work, moments of insight occur that reverberate outside of the therapeutic space and change lives for the better: anxieties begin to lessen, the heaviness of depression begins to feel lighter, life transitions feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

Beginning your therapy journey can make you feel vulnerable and exposed which is why I believe finding a therapist you can truly connect with is crucial to your well-being and growth, just like other relationships in our lives. We all have individual strengths, challenges, cultures, and experiences that have formed our multifaceted identities. These dynamics influence how we interact with ourselves and others in our daily lives and continue to shape us throughout life transitions.

Whether seeking therapy for the first time or the fiftieth, it takes courage and strength. I am a firm believer that every human being is worthy and deserving of love, connectivity, and fulfilling relationships. Within those relationships we learn something unique, and seek safety and connection, but sometimes do not receive what we need. Right now you may be feeling limited in your ability to cope with your emotions, feeling hopelessness and overwhelmed with things outside your control. Whether you are going through a big change or you are having difficulty understanding your emotions, you do not need to do this alone.
