Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's trauma, anger management, codependence, isolation, suicidality or something else - you and I can tackle it together. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.
Do you struggle with anxiety, self doubt, or people pleasing? Caught in a constant chaotic pattern of “fight or flight” survival mode? Dealing with unresolved past traumas that continue to hurt you today? I can help you shift from surviving in this world to successfully thriving in your life and relationships.
Take a quick survey to find therapists that match your needs.
Are you overwhelmed by negative or unhelpful thoughts and feelings? Is your mind racing and you can’t make it stop? Would it be nice to fall asleep at night with a clear mind? Do you experience trichotillomania or skin-picking? Insomnia? I can help. Change isn’t easy but it’s easier when you have someone to listen without judgement, notice your progress, and cheer you on in a safe, healing, and secular space. There is a more calm and higher functioning you on the other side of this.
We deserve to have harmony in our relationships. I work with clients that have found it difficult to navigate their relationships on their own and/or with therapists that have limited knowledge on Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM). You deserve nonjudgmental support as you navigate conversations around what happens next in your relationship. I work with individuals as they unpack the examples of relationships and love they saw as children and discover what they want in life.
