About My Clients

Do you struggle with having the same arguments in different ways with your parents or partner? Do you feel stuck in life or question its meaning? Do you feel like you aren't where you want to be in life or don't know how to get to where you want to be? Do you get uncomfortable in social settings and want to leave? I may not be able to change who your parents are, your partner's trauma, or the overwhelming daily tasks at work, but we will work to find new options and opportunities for change.

My Background and Approach

Whether you're dealing with difficulties with partners, family, or friends, I offer specialized guidance in areas such as codependency, infidelity, narcissistic relationships, divorce, and parenting. I often work with adults who have experienced emotionally immature parents, those navigating life adjustments and transitions, childhood trauma, military experience, and individuals struggling with anxiety. Growth and change is not an easy thing to achieve alone. I aim to empower, guide, and support you through difficult times. We will work towards change and progress by building on your strengths with new skills and tools unique to you. Throughout our sessions, we delve into your goals, thought or behavior patterns, and past experiences to gain a better understanding of you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am goal and progress oriented. To achieve progress, we use a combination of CBT (modifying negative thoughts and behaviors) with Psychodynamic therapy (exploring the influence of your past on your present).
