Therapy is a personal choice, and people come to it for many reasons. Whether you’re facing long-standing challenges like anxiety or depression, dealing with unexpected changes, or seeking personal growth, therapy can help. Together, we’ll work through what’s holding you back and find new strategies to navigate life’s challenges. Therapy is  for anyone who wants more out of life and is ready to build self-awareness and work towards meaningful change.

Each session is unique and tailored to your goals. Typically, we’ll meet weekly for about 50 minutes to discuss your concerns and make progress. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer-term for deeper personal growth. Sometimes you may be encouraged to reflect or try specific actions outside of sessions to support your progress. Active participation during and between sessions can lead to the best results, including practical strategies, self-compassion, and fresh perspectives.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you in the best way possible. This includes methods like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Theory. Each of these approaches offers different tools and perspectives, and together, we’ll find the methods that best support your journey and goals. Therapy is always collaborative, and I’ll explain each approach as we use it, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it’s important that you feel comfortable and supported. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, with a focus on helping you move at your own pace. I believe in creating a space where you feel accepted and empowered to explore change. If you’re seeking therapy for support with anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, or personal growth, my practice might be a good fit. I invite you to try an initial session to see if it feels right for you. Finding the right therapist is a big step, and I’m here to make that process as smooth as possible.

Getting started is simple. Just reach out to schedule an initial consultation by submitting a contact form. During this short consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, any concerns you have, and how therapy might help. This is also a chance to see if we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure—just a safe space for us to connect and see how we can work together.

The length of therapy depends on your unique needs and goals. Some people find short-term therapy helpful for specific challenges, while others benefit from longer-term support for ongoing personal growth. Together, we’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust as needed. Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey; it’s tailored to you, and we’ll go as far as you feel comfortable.

Medication can be helpful alongside therapy, but it isn’t a complete substitute. Therapy addresses the root causes of distress, while medication can help manage symptoms. Together with your doctor, we can explore the right approach to support your long-term well-being.

Seeking therapy doesn’t mean you can’t manage your challenges. It’s about getting extra support when you need it. Therapy provides tools and insights to help you address triggers, reshape patterns, and build resilience. Taking this step shows self-awareness and commitment to your well-being.

Therapists can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and creative blocks. Many people also find that counselors can be tremendously helpful in managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on difficult problems or point you in the direction of a solution.
