What should people thinking about therapy with you, know about you?

Feeling defeated and misunderstood by others and the outside world can make you lose your sense of self. Even if you try and work hard to do better, the default patterns in your life continue. You may even wish, “if only I could make this go away . . . or get rid of it.” An attuned guide who can validate your struggles with compassion, be open and honest, and understand your stuck places is key to authentic, lasting change.

When you don’t trust yourself you will be left feeling empty, isolated and disconnected. I am here to help you connect to your best self; to find meaning and purpose so that when the outside feels overwhelming you can easily turn within for solace, confidence and courage.

Clients who work with me should expect a caring environment for them to explore how they feel and room to grow and change. Therapy can be difficult as well. I will ask permission to ask something difficult of you; you have the option to decline.
