In a frequently emotion-phobic world that is increasingly productivity-driven, often pushes "more is better" messaging and encourages endless striving, letting ourselves be human can be hard. Whether your current challenges are related to an acute stressor or tied to early attachment wounds, we all have the capacity to navigate hardships, heal, and emerge more resilient, connected and empowered in our lives. I enjoy working with adults and older adults on issues related to grief/loss, life-transitions, interpersonal stress, parenting, people pleasing, and more.
I pull from attachment theory, ACT, EFIT, and CBT, based on client need. I take a strengths-based and relational approach to therapy that centers your life context, inner wisdom, and values. I truly believe that our patterned ways of coping with life's challenges were protective and adaptive at one time, even if they are no longer serving us.
You don't have to be happy, thriving, inspiring, or constantly optimizing to be valued here. Your humanity is enough. I appreciate how hard it is to even start looking for help. I'm glad you're here. Please reach out by email, phone, or click my website link to schedule a free 15-minute consult focused on what you're seeking and our potential, mutual fit.
