Great to meet you!

I work with adults who are needing assistance with an adjustment or a transition. That can be an emotional transition; grief, depression or anxiety. Or, something physical; such as living with chronic pain, not being able to sleep , a critical or chronic illness, or having experienced an event that is now impacting your daily life.

My approach to therapy

Essentially, we will work together to learn how to do things that aren't currently working for you in a new way, to best meet your emotional and functional needs now. What that will look like varies for each person. We will discuss different approaches and create a plan together.

We often get stuck because we keep trying to do something the way we always have, as it's worked before, so why not now?

Often, it's that old method that won't work anymore that creates much of the distress and frustration for people. Together, we can examine the process, and figure out just where the glitches are, and create a new approach.

What you can expect from me

You can expect support, and to be asked to look at things in a new way, sometimes "outside of the box".

I am a firm believer that You know yourself best, and together, we will brainstorm to help you uncover the supports and solutions that you need

to live your life fully realized.
