Being human can be wild, messy, beautiful, and painful. Whatever has brought you to therapy, it has taken courage and belief in yourself to arrive here. I honor your commitment to your own healing and growth. Suffering is part of the human condition, but there is no reason to suffer alone. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, loss or overwhelming change, or stress due to work, family, or intimate relationships, therapy can help shift your perspective, clarify your deepest values and life goals, identify unhelpful thought patterns, and transform your experience of life.
My clinical experience with adults and adolescents includes work with anxiety, depression, sexuality, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. I bring lived experience to mid-life issues, divorce, and parenting. My approach draws on existential and humanistic traditions, as well as somatic practices that integrate the body and the mind.
I bring warmth, authenticity, curiosity, and a dose of humor to this work. Successful therapy depends on a trusting relationship. I will work to earn your trust, and I welcome feedback about your experience in therapy. I invite you to reach out for a consultation to see if we might be a good fit.
