Therapy is a powerful vehicle when you recognize that in one way or another, you are not living the life you want to live.
You have the wisdom to recognize you need help to find your way, and the resourcefulness to seek out that help.
It is a common misconception that asking for help indicates weakness or deficiency, when reality is quite the opposite.
It takes incredible courage and strength to face your greatest challenges in life; therapy helps you access those resources to become who you know we can be, and create a life you are inspired to live.

As your therapist, I create a safe space where you can open up and explore parts of yourselves that feel unsafe to expose elsewhere.
Problematic parts of your experience often languish in isolation; the antidote is to explore them with a non-judgmental other who brings a trained eye to your inner world: who helps you see the sense of yourself when illuminated by the light of your context. Through this process of inquiry, exploration and discovery, I help you harmonize your relationship with your self, which in turn impacts every other part of your life.
Think about it… You are the one person you’re guaranteed to go to sleep with and wake up to every single day of your life. What relationship could be more important to tend to?
Creating lasting change, as opposed to that based on willpower, is very challenging in that it requires your brain to “rewire” in complex ways. Neurobiological studies have proven that secure therapeutic relationships can activate your neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s continued ability to change when stimulated in specialized ways.
You are the one person you’re guaranteed to go to sleep with and wake up to every single day of your life.
My goal is to create a safe, secure relationship with you.
Together, we can get you activated and ready to evolve. Once this happens, therapeutic experiences with me can “rewire” your brain, so your hard-earned changes become permanent, allowing you to relax into them without fear they are fleeting.
Over time peace and security are drawn inward, making them states that travel within you, wherever you may go.
