I will genuinely be interested in you and how you want to progress. I wear many "hats" as a therapist (e.g., listener, coach, guide, problem-solver) and tailor my approach to what each client is hoping to obtain from therapy.
Identify what you value, what fulfills you, and what gives you a sense of purpose. From there, we will figure out what you can do to build the life (including the kind of relationships) you want.

By helping you understand how you came to think, feel, and behave as you do now, we can cultivate self-acceptance, harness your strengths, develop effective coping skills, and help you live in a way that is congruent with your own values and goals.
Life is hard and sometimes even our best efforts leave us feeling unworthy, frustrated, and anxious. Asking for help can be the last thing we want to do. With me, you can be your whole self—you can bring every part of you without fear of judgment.
