The people I work with may be seeking help to address grief and loss; anxiety and depression; addictions; traumatic and overwhelming experiences, as well as emotional numbness or lack of feeling; working with challenging emotions; and relationship issues. I have often found that beneath these concerns are deeper questions about personal meaning, such as, Who am I? Where do I belong? What is my purpose?

In practice, I place an emphasis on personal meaning, closely listening for how you make sense of yourself, your relationships, your life, and what is most important to you. This means that while reducing symptoms is an important part of therapy, it is by addressing and creating meaning in life that we achieve balance, well-being, and authenticity.

As a therapist, I hope that my curiosity about you inspires curiosity about yourself. You can expect me to actively listen and engage. Therapy sessions may focus on content (e.g., talking about something that happened) and on process (e.g., noticing what is it like, in the present, to talk about something with me). Both content and process can be useful for learning about you. In the beginning of therapy, we will put together an understanding of what brings you to therapy, your history, if and how I may be able to help, and what a relevant focus is for us in therapy.

I offer a 15-minute, free consultation over the phone. This is to help you to decide if you would like to work with me, and to help me decide whether I am the right fit for you and what you want to work on.
