Understand yourself.

Find courage.

Make changes.

I help people break free from overthinking and self-criticism that keep them feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of themselves.

My Approach

Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, struggling with self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, I work with you to identify your patterns and break them for good.

I believe change comes from understanding, courage, and effort: understand yourself and your situation, have the courage to change things, and put in the effort to keep moving forward. In therapy we have a chance to really look carefully at what your mind is doing and how it contributes to your reality. What’s your mind saying about the world? about your future? about your partner? your past? about yourself? And equally important, how to those thoughts influence your decisions and the outcomes in your life? Together we’ll study these thoughts and beliefs and in many cases challenge them altogether. I routinely assign homework to my clients so they can make progress outside of therapy. Sometimes it’s a question to ponder, other times it’s a habit to break. My therapy blends mindfulness with CBT, narrative, psychodyamic, and a dash of humor.

How It Works

First, we explore. Our first session is about understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions that help us figure out what’s going on, how different aspects of your life are connected, and what you’ve tried in the past. We’ll start to build a picture of how things fit together.

Then, we develop a plan. Once we’ve gathered some insights, I’ll offer my take on what might be driving your challenges and how we can work together to address them. We’ll set a broad course for therapy, but remain flexible as we dive deeper into your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

We challenge the narratives that hold you back. As therapy progresses, we’ll begin to identify and challenge the stories you tell yourself—about who you are, what you’re capable of, and how others see you. These narratives are often at the root of anxiety, self-doubt, and low self-worth. By shifting these stories, you’ll feel more at ease in your relationships and life.

We cultivate your inner wisdom. We’ll summon your inner wisdom and openness to create and reinforce new ways of living, thinking, and reacting and manage them like carefully. We’ll use encouragement, gentle challenges, and metaphor, and your own natural brilliance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
