About me
Do the same difficult emotions, fears, or self-doubts keep resurfacing in your daily life, even though you've tried to find ways to cope? I help adults uncover the root causes of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and other forms of emotional distress so that lasting change becomes possible. In my practice, I create a space to help you understand not only what you're experiencing, but why. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, I will help you develop clear insight into the deeply rooted thought patterns that keep you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or not good enough.
With my clients, I build a strong, trusting rapport based on empathy, honesty, and humor. I engage with my clients by respectfully questioning their assumptions and attitudes to identify the underlying factors that keep them stuck, and help them develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I believe that meaningful healing happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make sense of your past experiences and how they affect your life today. If you're ready to move beyond symptom management and gain a deeper understanding of yourself, contact me to schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment that fits your schedule.
