I help individuals and couples understand and transform deeply rooted patterns. Some walk through my door in profound distress, while others seek relief from a persistent sense of unease and dissatisfaction. I listen closely for the ideas and experiences shaping important aspects of your life, such as family, friends, work, sexuality, creativity, and self-worth. And together, we explore the ups and downs of your thoughts and feelings, with a focus on how current experiences and past traumas may be restricting your capacity for growth, self-expression, satisfaction, fulfilling relationships, and meaningful work.

In my care, you’ll find a therapeutic relationship and environment that is safe, reliable, and non-judgmental, where a range of thoughts and feelings can be expressed, and where disruptive and inflexible patterns transform into new ways of living. Some benefits of therapy may arrive immediately, while deeper, more meaningful change often takes time.

Selecting the right therapist can be a daunting task. Whatever you are struggling with, please don't hesitate to reach out via email or phone so we can address your concerns and get you started on the path to a more open and fulfilling life. It can be hard work. It can be fun. It can certainly be surprising. It may even be the start of something new.
