Therapy at your pace

A steady place to begin

You may know something needs to change, but not know where to start.

You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, anxious, reactive, stuck in the same relationship patterns, or unsure how to explain what is happening.

Therapy gives you time and space to slow things down, make sense of your experience, and begin working with the patterns that feel difficult to shift alone.

I work with adults and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, trauma, addiction, ADHD, emotional overwhelm and repeating patterns in their lives and relationships.
