I work with people who want to manage emotions that feel overwhelming and hard to tolerate such as anger, sadness, and anxiety. I work with people who struggle with finding and forming social connections, and with those who want to manage difficult relationships in their lives. I also work with those who want to develop communication skills, explore and develop different aspects of identity, and cope with distressing life events or trauma. I strive to ensure that those I work with feel understood and heard, and that they find our work helpful and meaningful. My hope is to empower people with the relevant tools, skills, resources, and knowledge that they can then practice and use long after our work together is done. I offer the (optional and free of charge) opportunity to chat with me for 15 minutes on the phone to ask me any questions about this process and determine if you would like to schedule a first session with me.
