Are you struggling with loneliness, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Have recent life changes left you feeling groundless, stuck, or lost in life? If you want to feel more confident, successful, and connected, I encourage you to reach out. I am a compassionate and down-to-earth therapist who focuses on increasing insight, self-understanding, and meaning. I work well with individuals struggling with low self-esteem, unfulfilling relationships, life change, grief & loss, and meaning-making.
In therapy, you'll be provided direct, individualized, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed care. While pulling from Existential and Philosophical perspectives, and utilizing Experiential and Relational Processing, compassion, humor, humility, and here-and-now relating are at the fore of my work, in efforts to build a sound and trusting relationship.
I emphasize personal choice &responsibility, creativity, love, and authenticity. I welcome you to reach out and schedule a free intro call to see if we’re a good fit. I’d love to embark on your therapeutic journey together
