People often search for a therapist when they feel like they've tried everything and it's just not working well enough. It can be hard to see a situation clearly when you've been immersed in it for so long. I help people to take a step back, so they can see things more objectively. Through psychotherapy, people can find internal strength and resources they didn't know were there. They can then start to see new perspectives, both of themselves and their situations, and can begin to make changes.
It's a courageous decision to reach out for help. At the same time, choosing a psychotherapist can feel like a daunting task. Please take a look at my website for more in-depth information about me, my practice, what I can provide for you, and to see testimonials.
I've been in the field for 20+ years, and have a wide variety of experience and training that I bring to my practice. I work with individuals and couples. Everyone is welcome: all backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, family situations. I'd like to see how I could help you.
