"If you change your life, you will change your world."

Welcome
People come to see me for many reasons. Some seek help for anxiety or depression. Others are navigating a difficult time — such as divorce, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. Some want to build healthier, more satisfying relationships. Others feel haunted by painful experiences from childhood or the more recent past.
All are seeking a better life — a path toward transformation, greater peace, or deeper confidence. Therapy offers a meaningful way to work toward these goals.
What happens in therapy?
The therapy process takes different paths depending on your needs and the plan we create together. Whether we work in individual therapy, group therapy, couples therapy, or a combination of these, therapy provides a safe space to talk openly about yourself — your life, struggles, and what’s getting in the way of the life you wish to have.
The more you talk, the more we can understand together how experiences, perceptions, beliefs, and relationships have shaped you. With deeper understanding, reactions and struggles that once felt intractable can begin to loosen their grip.
The relationship between therapist and client can become a meaningful source of connection — helping you see yourself in new ways, transforming shame or embarrassment into compassionate understanding, and turning difficult feelings into constructive language. This relationship can be a wellspring of strength, comfort, confidence, and courage.
How does therapy help?
Just as an athlete works with a trainer to combine talent, training, practice, nutrition, and rest for better performance, a psychotherapy client works with a therapist to:
- Discover natural gifts
- Explore important personal history
- Understand and navigate the world of emotions
- Promote healing
- Build a stronger, more resilient sense of self
The result of this work is a greater ability to face life’s challenges, and a deeper capacity to feel, understand, and use emotions productively — without being overwhelmed by them.
