Empowering therapy for personal growth and healing.
People think you have it all together, but they have no idea how much you struggle. Feeling exhausted and ashamed, your self-esteem sinks lower by the day. You feel like an impostor. Your success feels fragile. You feel disconnected or isolated from family and friends or like you've lost yourself. You realize you want change, but don't know where to start.
How Can I Help?
My therapy practice helps you learn techniques to lessen suffering and explore what a meaningful life means to you. Together, we will unravel your story. In that safe connection, I will help you confront the shame and fear that comes from believing you’re not good enough or that you don’t matter. I will help you develop a healthier relationship with yourself.
Imagine moving through your pain to the other side, armed with a new inner compass to navigate your life. You will create deeper connections with others and be able to experience the joy of designing a meaningful life. Feel more peaceful, hopeful and confident now.
Call today to reserve your appointment, and let's start working.
Specific Issues I'm Skilled at Helping With:
Perfectionists, high achieving people with a harsh inner critic that won't allow them to relax, connect and enjoy the life they've worked so hard to build.
Adults navigating a transition in life - marriage, parenthood, separation, divorce, a new diagnosis, chronic health concern, medical weight loss, grief from a loss.
Care-giving for a spouse, partner or parent - it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day, and you feel burned out, alone or like you are losing yourself.
With the caring support of a compassionate therapist, you can recapture a sense of hope and optimism in your life. You can reclaim connection, focus and purpose. Therapy for you, at the right time.
