“Change doesn’t have to feel intimidating, isolating or impossible. Being honest with ourselves about the life patterns that cause suffering and keep us stuck is the first step to healing, and you shouldn’t have to do it alone. I believe a strong, connected therapeutic relationship makes all the difference. As your therapist, I will meet you with compassion and respect and even bring in a bit of humor along the way. Together, we will work to build an understanding of your unique life experiences to help you cultivate agency and insight.”
