I help my clients become more confident, content, and true to themselves, while decreasing unhelpful approaches like worry, inaction, bottling emotions, people-pleasing, and avoidance. My clients are professionals, students, academics, and couples who have recognized that, despite their successes, something is wrong: old ways of coping are failing; challenges are harder to manage; deeper connections are missing; painful thoughts keep resurfacing; difficult memories are walled off; their inner experience is marked by turmoil and confusion; low confidence or existential dilemmas lead to stuckness. Does this sound like you? I strive to be someone you can rely on to support you nonjudgmentally, while also promoting your independence. I will help you tap into your strengths, get to the heart of your challenges, and face them more directly. I want you to leave counseling with deeper connections to yourself and others on a new path combining the best of the "old" and "new" you. It's deeply meaningful to see my clients experience the relief and satisfaction that comes from engaging fully in counseling. Because suffering is not sustainable, I collaborate with my clients to reach their goals quickly, typically meeting weekly.
