People often come to therapy during some of the most painful times in their lives. A relationship may be falling apart. You may have lost someone or something important to you. You may feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or simply unable to keep living in the same way.
​
Sometimes the pain is connected to something happening right now. Other times, you may recognize that the same struggles have followed you for years—in relationships, in how you feel about yourself, or in patterns you haven’t been able to change.
​
Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe it is important to have someone who can be with you in that pain—not simply analyze it or tell you what to do, but genuinely try to understand  what you are experiencing from a position of warmth and empathy.
​
Our work begins there. Together, we can begin to understand what is happening, what happened, why it hurts, and what may need to change.
I pay attention to what happens between us
Understanding what makes meaningful change possible
Why can a person sincerely want to change and still find themselves repeating the very patterns they are trying to leave behind? We explore the deep-seated roots of behavior and the slow, steady process of loosening their hold. This is the path toward deeper, lasting transformation.
