Most people come to see me because they are experiencing some sort of distress that they want help with. What they come to discover is that therapy can be about so much more than relieving pain. I facilitate a process of reflection and self-discovery that can help you connect to your inner creativity and capacity to grow. I focus on helping you expand your relationships, your ability to love and receive love. And together we search for your sense of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in life. I often work with people who are struggling with their identity during a major life transition. This can be separating from home and going to college, getting a first job, getting married, becoming a parent, experiencing the death of a parent, and aging. Life transitions create a break from who you were, to who you are becoming. It is a fault line in one’s life that can feel quite overwhelming, chaotic, and unstable. There is a grieving of what was, in order to open up to what can be. These fault lines can be an opportunity for growth and the emergence of something new. Although neither of us know where your journey will lead, I am committed to supporting you in becoming fully you. My area of speciality is working to improve relationships; in addition to seeing adults in individual therapy, I also see see children, families, and couples. I do play therapy in-person and help coparents cooperate and communicate. My approach helps people better understand their inner landscape as a path to healing.
