Great to meet you!

Since I was a child, I’ve loved thinking about why people do what they do and about the words they used to tell their tales. At first this drew me to writing. But while working as a writer I was learning about psychology. I even experienced the transformative power of therapy as a client. Through this I became passionate about what is possible for others and I realized that I wanted to spend my time helping people in a direct way. So I gave up everything I was doing and became a therapist.

A bit about my approach to therapy

We’ll start with the concerns that brought you in. In our initial dialogues, we'll collaborate to identify goals. These can include short-term goals like ways to cope with anxiety and long-term goals like getting what you want from life. I will help you slow down and focus on the emotions and physical feelings that come up as we speak. These responses reveal a lot about what you allow yourself to feel and express. We will explore and discover with compassion, insight, and even laughter.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to take away tools for dealing with challenging feelings and situations, insight about what drives you and hampers you, and an appreciation of your strengths - strengths that you will enhance and use in order to build a more fulfilling life.
