As a therapist for over twenty years, I have extensive experience and treat depression, narcissistic abuse, and relationship and career stress. When these painful emotions go unaddressed, they tend to resurface in unhealthy ways. In our work, we will sit with your emotions and make space for them, even ones that may feel confusing or hard to understand.

I will listen to you and mirror back what I hear you say, including things you may not have heard for yourself. I understand that you’re a complex person and have your own thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints. While I normalize your feelings around the need to be “fixed,” I also gently challenge social norms that keep you stuck in a cycle of self-blame. Through the process, you begin to consider different perspectives, explore options, and move towards your goals.

Each person has unique needs, so I stay open to yours, explore themes in your story, and support you in our work. While we may not share the exact same experiences, I believe we certainly share human emotions. I acknowledge, validate, and respect your lived experience. Although I do not give advice, I tune into your feelings and gently support you to slow down and check in with yourself. Throughout the process, I collaborate with you. And I offer tools to regulate stress and intense emotions.

01

Schedule a 15-minute phone consultation. During the call, we discuss your concerns and identify specific areas that you find most challenging. Together, we have an opportunity to explore our fit.

02

As we move forward, we reduce the intensity, frequency, and duration of distress. We may use a breathing exercise to release tension in the body and soothe the central nervous system, or utilize a cognitive strategy to work with difficult thoughts. When anxiety and pain decrease, we have more joy and fulfillment.

03

Throughout the therapy process, we collaborate to find the best options to improve your life. Your future plans and goals are also woven into the process and supported by a more confident, positive mindset. It’s the combined effort that promotes health and growth. This creates a framework for you to see yourself as more whole.
