You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

As a therapist, I've come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies - and that's okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. I aim to provide a balance of practicality and profundity in my work. On a practical level, I'll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based modalities to help shine light on core issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence - those profound "aha" moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.
