You're unsure about making a change. You've felt paralyzed in ambivalence for days, months, even years. You may feel as if Life is something that happens to you rather than you steering it. I want to help you reconnect with the inherent wisdom, values, and life experiences that define you. Together, we will collaborate to find the solutions contained within your problems. I help people navigate depression, anxiety, relational issues, life transitions, men’s issues, artists struggling to find their creative voice, and self-acceptance.
You can expect me to be an active collaborator in our sessions together. I use an eclectic, strength-based approach and find myself to be of most help when I can make space for safety, lightness, and trust in therapy. I’ve been told that I’m warm, funny, and gentle by clients. I primarily work with teens, young adults, and adults.
I'm currently seeing all clients virtually via video on weekdays, though I plan to work hybrid in the future. Our office is Out-of-Network with insurance, but we will file claims for your reimbursement so you don't have to. Please feel free to reach out via email or phone, and I'll get back to you shortly.
