Sometimes we don’t understand the feelings coming up, especially if we've learned that emotions get in the way or should be kept to ourselves. The world can be hard and unjust, and things happen that make it tough to trust ourselves or others, don’t they? Sometimes we wonder if we'll always feel lonely. We might ask why our relationships turn out the way they do, or why we try the same things over and over. When we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop or when life feels blah or overwhelming, we can wonder if this is all there is.
I’m interested in helping you feel less alone and more free in all of this. In individual therapy we develop trust and explore what gets in the way of the life we want. Group therapy helps us feel confident around others and build satisfying relationships. Both can help loosen the grip of depression and anxiety and make us more alive to life's possibilities.
Let me know if any of this resonates with you. I offer a free initial 15-minute phone consult to see if we’d be a good fit. If we're not, I'm happy to help you find someone else who is.

This group is for folks who struggle with feeling alone or that they don't belong. It's for those who can get anxious in social settings, or who aren't sure how to relate to people of a different race, gender, or sexuality. Why group, though? This kind of therapy can help us make sense of our thoughts & feelings and understand others more easily. It lets us experiment with new interpersonal behaviors and take what we learn to our outside lives. If you'd like to improve your relationships, communication, or confidence, reach out. I'd love to talk.
