It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy. Just taking the first step to begin to find a therapist can feel overwhelming. As you are reading this, you have already taken that important first step. Successful therapy is dependent upon building trust and fostering a collaborative relationship. I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals work through difficult transitions in their lives and to cope with a range of problems including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship obstacles, and struggles related to identity.  I do not support a ‘one size fits all’ model. Each individual is unique and therefore I believe in an individualized approach, determined based on what works best for you. I draw from multiple perspectives in therapy including but not limited to: insight oriented psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. While the specific goals of therapy are determined collaboratively, I believe we all have the desire to lead a fulfilled and meaningful life as the best version of ourselves. Our success in this journey will be determined by your openness toward self-exploration and your trust that I am the right therapist for you. Contact me to begin this journey.
