Are you feeling "stuck," indecisive, depressed, or anxious? We all face life difficulties that limit our skills and tools for managing our emotions, reducing symptoms, building relationships, and having a sense of self-worth. Understanding, learning what is happening in your brain, and practicing skills and coping mechanisms are vital to living a worthwhile life. I have spent the last few years assisting clients, building their toolbox, understanding the emotional system, and improving their lives.

The burdens of life may become too heavy for us to carry alone or the pain too great to sustain in silence. Painful relationships, negative self-judgments, and unresolved past experiences can impair our ability to bounce back from difficulties. I will strive to co-create with you a therapeutic relationship based on trust, hope and respect, and in which you are in charge at every step of the process. I will help you uncover your inner strengths and capacities for growth and healing. Together we will discover the nature and the source of the obstacles you face.

Taking the first step to seek therapy can be scary, but the fact that you are taking that first step shows courage and strength. I will collaborate with you to increase the strengths you already have, build new coping techniques and improve your self-esteem. I work in a thoughtful and non-judgmental way. My aim is to give clients the tools necessary to build their inner strength and resilience.

Beginning therapy can be scary, intimidating, and stressful, but can also make a big difference in your life. There are times we feel stuck, lost, confused, angry, or hurt. Periods when relationships feel like they’re falling apart, life feels aimless, or we feel unhappy and can’t quite pinpoint why. For some this is new, while for others it can be a lifelong struggle. Therapy provides a safe space for processing thoughts and feelings, for exploring the past and its influence over the present, and for risking change. Therapy can help you cope with challenges and make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to grow.
