Societal norms, social oppression, and even loved ones can contribute to us feeling like we are not enough. This can have a significant impact on our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, and our negative automatic thoughts can be persistent and isolating. They can affect the way we approach others and how we navigate the world. I am dedicated to creating a warm, affirming, and therapeutic space and inviting and honoring your vulnerability with empathy and compassion. With this foundation, we can explore the roots of your recent and past challenges and brainstorm new strategies to foster more solid ground in your life.

Many aspects of life can be difficult, recurring and even intolerable. Hope or hoplessness may have led you to seek therapy, in pursuit of changes that continue to mystify you. Therapy can offer support in making clearer sense of what it is you are experiencing in your life and relationships, working towards adjustments that create new possibilities and insights. Sometimes things don't change, though, and you may have to contend with that powerlessness too. In therapy together, we can use our working relationship to explore challenges and hopes you are facing, developing new capacities for navigating life and relationships.

You have felt unseen and unheard. But you know deep down that you are worthy. I know that you are. The challenges in life you once were able to navigate with ease are now more daunting than ever. You have turned to avoidance, substances, shopping, you name it! But none of these are helping. What you need now is someone to empathize with you. Someone who gets it, to see you and support you while you examine those unpleasant feelings and sensations.
