Everyone has seasons of difficulty, confusion, or moments where forward progress in life and relationships seem to come to a stop.

Do you feel sad, anxious, lonely, or misunderstood by others? Perhaps you feel discouraged by repetitive, heart-wrenching patterns in your relationships with loved ones, or obstacles to progressing in your career? As a well-trained, experienced, and compassionate psychotherapist, I have helped many people overcome difficulties they worried might be intractable.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming.

My approach to therapy is compassionate and direct. I will be respectful, but I will also be honest.

I will ask you about where you are trying to go, and we will work together to develop a practical plan to help you get there.
