Seeking therapy can be scary, daunting, and even promote anxiety in itself! Facing our unknown or dark corners is hard, however, together I believe we can ease the journey. I offer a warm, nonjudgemental space, a compassionate and understanding ear, where together we can open possibilities to a more meaningful life. Whether it's personal growth including developmental/transitional stages, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, together we can find and bring about meaningful change.

Are you struggling with a relationship, concerns around disconnection/current compatibility, trust, or intimacy/sex, desire and/or arousal concerns? Does communication more often lead to augments and negative/hopeless feelings than a decrease in tension and feelings of emotional safety, satisfaction and connection? These are not uncommon concerns.

If you struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, developmental stages or interpersonal struggles, I do offer a free 45-minute online consultation to see if we are a good fit. Also available for assessments.
