Great to meet you!

Ever find yourself in the struggle of just existing and living your life? Avoiding the realities of our lives can be our first response, leading us to push our emotions into the unconscious. Anxiety and depression are common difficulties that many face, and often we find ourselves with irrational thoughts that invoke feelings of being in danger that never go away. Or depression, which shows up in adults as hopelessness, despair, and anger. This results in individuals feeling so overwhelmed by their day-to-day. As a psychodynamic/insight-oriented counselor, I would love to help you build and find resilience and strength.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of depression, self-esteem, and the deep-seated impact of shame and fear. Whether you are a man trying to navigate societal expectations of strength while feeling internal turmoil, or someone struggling to find their footing after a significant loss.
