People often come to therapy when they are seeking relief from mental or emotional pain. I believe much of this inner pain comes from the methods we learn throughout our life to protect us from troubling thoughts and emotions, as well as from the difficulties in our environment. In psychotherapy, deep and lasting healing occurs when we develop awareness into the nature of our thinking and feeling, how they are shaped by experience, and the important functions they serve in the ways we manage our lives. My approach is compassionate and relational. I believe that the key to a successful experience in psychotherapy involves a strong therapeutic bond and careful attention to the relationship between therapist and client. I have expertise in working with people suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, interpersonal and existential issues. I enjoy the work of psychotherapy and feel gratitude for the chance to help people on their path towards wellness and growth. I am committed to understanding each of my clients in the complexity of their unique perspectives and difficulties. Sharing your thoughts in a nonjudgmental, safe, and understanding environment can have a profound, lasting impact.
