I believe therapy should be a highly collaborative process wherein you and I forge a safe, trusting relationship and work together to define what’s ultimately important to you. Much of what I do is focused on helping you to cultivate a curiosity about, and understanding of, your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs and how these impact your experience of the world around you. This greater sense of self-awareness will allow you to begin to challenge inaccurate beliefs and cultivate more productive ways of navigating difficulties.

Many people come into therapy because they want change in their lives, but said change feels scary or unobtainable. I partner with you to identify the changes you want to make and understand the beliefs and stories that maintain the issues and problems you hope to change. I will actively participate in your therapy by asking exploratory questions, using empathic listening, and gently and lovingly holding up the mirror so you can become increasingly aware and accepting of yourself.

Life can be a bumpy road we can often feel overwhelmed, scared, stressed, and at times alone. Therapy can be an intimidating thought but can act as a great catalyst for growth. Often we struggle to articulate our feelings in a way that can be heard which results in negative/destructive behaviors.
