"It takes time to live. Like any work of art,
life needs to be thought about".
- Albert Camus
My approach to therapy is rooted in exploring how personal relationships impact how we perceive ourselves and how they can affect our potential for growth. Feelings of hopelessness and low self-esteem can arise when feeling stuck or when we experience the urge to numb our emotions. My aim as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental space to address these feelings as well as create an opportunity to explore how we make meaning out of our daily struggles.
I specialize in exploring patterns of thinking that undermine emotional stability and lead to feelings of depression and anxiety. By focusing on communication skills, empowering personal responsibility, and expressing conflicted emotions; I support individuals and couples to develop concrete skills to foster positive relationships and a healthy sense of self.
Aside from my psychology training, I bring academic experience and a deep interest in philosophy, art, and art history to my therapeutic style. For some clients, seeking meaning in creative ways can provide a deeper sense of purpose when working to address challenges related to love, work, and personal history.
I offer free phone consultations if you are interested in learning more about my practice or possibly pursuing counseling services.
