"In my experience, people take the courageous step to start therapy because they feel disconnected from themselves, others or from their values and dreams about a life worth living. You might be feeling this disconnection as sadness or worry, work stress, difficulties with relationships, parenting struggles, anger or the urge to use substances. I believe that everyone already has the inner resources necessary for healing, and our work together will be about helping you to access and use these core resources in a healthy way.

"My priority as a therapist is to create a safe space for you in which you feel comfortable connecting to difficult thinking patterns, habits, or memories that stand in the way of feeling more empowered and alive. By learning new ways to be with emotions, thoughts, and challenging experiences, your inner capacity to accept life as it is will grow. Paradoxically, acceptance will make it easier for you to make desired changes. I am very committed to helping you create those changes."
