At Terrace House, I work with clients of all ages, including adults, couples, and adolescents. I am especially passionate about working with students, athletes, and clients navigating life transitions. I know the pressures we often feel within these roles – pressure to achieve, produce, impress, and compete. It can get heavy, confusing, frustrating, and ultimately it can leave us feeling stuck. Learning to navigate anxiety, expectations (internal or external), and change can be powerful work. The kind of powerful that leads to living in ways that feel meaningful and in-line with our values and goals. I am a firm believer that the human experience includes both pain and joy, and will work with you to find balance in all the emotions life can bring. I take a client-centered, strengths-based approach, and integrate ideas from the fields of positive psychology, philosophy, and mindfulness in my work. My goal is to co-create a space in therapy where you feel safe, confident, and inspired to live authentically. As you learn more about yourself, and develop new strategies for the challenges you’re facing, new possibilities often emerge. Together we will come to understand who you are becoming, and what you would like to create in your life next.
