My ideal client is seeking therapy because they are feeling sad. It almost feels like depression. The client is not sure how to stop feeling this way. They also don't know why they are feeling this way. They want to learn what is making them feel sad.

Making the decision to trust a therapist with your story is a courageous first step in healing. Sometimes it is through sharing our own inner narratives of our life experiences that we can unlock the harmful cycles of suffering that hold us back from being our best selves. My role as your therapist is to help you make meaning of your relationship with yourself and your life story.

Is your marriage stuck in “replay mode”? Do you and your partner keep repeating the same argument, despite your best intentions? Have you ever been plagued with doubts about whether you and your partner are meant for each other? The stressors in our lives and small infractions can stack up like bricks, building a wall between ourselves and those we love. The higher the wall, the more intimidating it is to tackle. If that sounds familiar, then you’re in the right place. I guide couples to examine the foundations of these walls—the deep-rooted fears and desires that manifest themselves as grievances with their significant other.
