Therapy for people who think deeply, feel intensely, and are exhausted by both

I’m a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma recovery. Many of my clients are people who “should be fine.”
They are capable, insightful and often, the person others rely on. But internally, they feel overwhelmed, stuck in their own head, or like things are harder than they should be.

I walk alongside complicated, creative, and misunderstood humans. I help them understand themselves clearly enough to make different choices: In relationships, identity, and how they respond to stress.

Many of the people I see have had to adapt to early relationships or environments in ways that were necessary at the time, but no longer work for them. Over time, those adaptations can show up as anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns in relationships that are difficult to shift.

I am relaxed, good humored, encouraging, and interactive. My practice is secular, inclusive, and affirming. I am not going to rush you, or let you get too stuck. My clients typically initially see me for about a year, and then on and off as the seasons of their life change. But everyone is different.

How I Think About Therapy

I approach therapy as a process of understanding rather than fixing

We pay attention to:

• what keeps repeating

• how you respond in certain situations

• what feels difficult to change, even with insight

This work is not about fixing you. It’s about making sense of what’s already there, so you can begin to relate to it differently.

It is my belief all persons are deserving of, and entitled to receive counseling services regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability.
