I believe relational psychotherapy helps to restore hope and connection, even during seasons of immense pain and suffering. Having a place where you can be heard and feel known is essential while working through heavy feelings, emotions, and thoughts and processing difficult experiences. As therapy deepens, individuals I work with gain insight into presenting symptoms and patterns of behavior that initially brought them to see me.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
Often, my clients find themselves in circumstances or environments in which they do not feel understood or seen. The sometimes think no one will ever really 'get' them. This could be because of a lifestyle, religion, or just generally who they feel they are as a person. Many have been afraid to reach out previously. They hope to someday find that one place or person who won't judge them, but rather sit with them through the muck. You've found it. Welcome home.
Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps a certain behavior, worry, or the use of a substance has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. I work with adults, teens, and children with a variety of needs to provide a safe and encouraging space to learn and grow.

You're tired. Tired of struggling with the relentless difficulties life sends your way, weighed down by the echoes of past pain and trauma. Tired of feeling like you're drowning in a sea of uncertainty, struggling to keep your head above water. Tired of the endless cycle of relationship struggles, where compassion and understanding break down and intimacy feels like a fairy tale. Part of you knows that you can’t do it alone anymore. It is a difficult, vulnerable, and brave thing to seek support.
Always second guessing your comments and over explaining is exhausting. Not knowing what to expect you walk on eggshells questioning what will happen next? Narcissistic-like behaviors include swinging from being caring and attentive to being irritated, demanding and manipulative. We continue to tell ourselves they will change, as we have invested so much time and energy into the relationship. Now, walking away does not seem like an option or maybe you are "done".
