Are you struggling with adjusting to change? Are past traumas keeping you stuck? There are so many changes universally right now and they can be overwhelming. Even adapting to what we are referring to as "normalcy" is different and new. Or, do you have some issues with feeling confident in one or more areas of your life? I get it. Sometimes clients come to me for guidance with their relationships, yet their work situation is mostly satisfying. And still others would like to feel more comfortable in their family role, professional role, or even in their roles in general. Some want to feel at home in their bodies and don't know how.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with adults who are seeking to understand and change unfulfilling patterns in their lives. Each person’s therapy takes a unique shape. And yet, to feel stuck, ashamed or overwhelmed, or to suffer from depression or anxiety, or to struggle with a difficult relationship—these are frequently the entryways into a process of gradually transforming how we understand ourselves, resolving past hurts, knowing better now what we needed then, and seeing clearly what we want and need now.

It’s difficult, even scary, to ask for what you need. Many of us don’t even know how to identify our needs. Maybe you’ve never been allowed to express them or been made to feel like you’re not valuable enough to have them. It’s not your fault. But it can lead to problems. Those needs get expressed somehow, often is ways we regret or don’t understand, ways that cause harm – such as feeling perpetually exhausted or overwhelmed, avoiding emotions, arguing, or disengaging from relationships, even yourself.
