I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client, and that by working together we can help you move toward understanding and healing.

I strive to kindly challenge the way people think, and to be challenged myself. I am honored when asked to be present in challenging times, and work to balance holding room for discomfort while helping y...

Change is hard! Staying stuck is harder. Psychotherapy can help you get back to feeling good about yourself, your relationships, or gain clarity about your life goals. We all struggle sometimes with life’s challenges, and we learn to handle them in many ways. If we’re lucky, we find helpful coping strategies, but sometimes what we’ve learned to do to manage stress stops working for us. Usually, that is the time when people decide to try therapy: when they are unable to find their way out of rigi...

Although I work with many presenting concerns, I have noticed a commonality of how people are self-critical and subsequently experience declines in their mental health a...
