They often struggle with issues across a number of domains, whether eating, substance use, career, identity, and of course relationships.
With so much access to the lives of others, it is inevitable to compare: it appears as though everyone else has it figured out, meanwhile you’re behind, on the wrong track, or missing out on something. I work with people who feel like their lives are a mess. Sometimes this sense of chaos has been lifelong. Other times something has happened that completely upends the structure of a person’s life, leaving them to pick up the pieces. There are also those who appear as though they are keeping it together, while inside they are falling apart.

My experience has been in receiving advanced training and education in attachment theory, substance use, sexuality counseling, and in the existential.
Although I have experience, education, and training in psychology, you will always be the expert on “you”. I approach therapy as a collaboration where we unite as a team to hold space for, explore, and honor some of the most important aspects of your life.
