My Treatment Focus

THE WHOLE PERSON

I work with clients from all backgrounds and all walks of life. Wellness involves caring for your mind, body, and soul - I will help you to do this.

​

Living a purposeful and meaningful life is not always easy. It begins with accepting ourselves for who we are and releasing the idea of a "perfect" life. This process does not happen overnight. I will accompany you on this journey, for however long. It may at times be painful, and at other times absolutely thrilling.

During our time together, we will work to understand what is holding you back and improve positive thinking and behavior. We will explore what is going right in your life, as well as what is causing you to struggle.  Using humor, warmth, and compassion, I aim to create a space where you can feel safe to express yourself fully - your thoughts, feelings, insecurities, fears, and dreams. Relationships can hurt, but they can also be healing. Therapy can allow this type of healing relationship to flourish, where new patterns of relating, communicating, and just being are made possible.
