Redefine What's Possible with Therapy

Sometimes we believe things that seem completely true, even though there’s no real explanation behind them. You might think, "my life has always been this way, it will never change" or "If I’ve struggled before, I’ll always struggle." These thoughts feel real, but they’re not necessarily true.

 

On the other hand, there are things that might sound unbelievable at first—but when you begin to consider them, they actually make sense. Like the idea that you can build a life that feels meaningful, even if you don’t see evidence for it yet. Or that your past doesn’t have to define your future.

 

​In therapy, I help you explore the possibility that some things you believe about your life now may not be as true as they seem. At the same time, there may be other possibilities—ones you haven’t fully considered—that are worth putting your energy into. ​

Therapeutic Approach

Being human is messy and complicated. Life can feel uncertain and sometimes even absurd, throwing challenges at us —a health diagnosis, a milestone birthday, or the loss of a loved one that shatters the stability we’ve worked so hard to maintain. At other times, it's quieter, with days blending into one another until we find ourselves questioning our choices, our direction, or even our sense of self. Every choice you make moves you ahead... or holds you back. And the clock keeps ticking.​​

​

Therapy is a chance to clear away distractions, regain direction, and reclaim your life- empowering you to make choices not for applause, approval, or out of obligation to others, but based on what's truly important to you. 

 

My approach to psychotherapy is honest, open-minded, infused with a sense of humor, and supported by years of experience and evidence-based practices. I help people feel free to be themselves, build better relationships, and live with less regret.
