nice to meet you
Feeling worried, insecure, or doubtful in your relationships? I want to help you achieve solutions and life changes you are looking for, while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways.
Simply put, therapy doesn’t have to always be a painful thing. You’ll have a dedicated space to unload your worries, learn how to navigate challenges with grace, and feel empowered to develop fresh insights about your life.
I am most passionate about working with women who feel like they are “not good enough,” worry about their image, are critical of their interactions with others, and avoid situations in which they may be judged negatively. We can work together to help you gain more self-compassion and confidence through a deeper understanding of who you are.

In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

Life doesn’t make any sense without interdependence. We need each other, and the sooner we learn that, the better for us all.

Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.

The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
Carl G. Jung
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
William James
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
Brian Tracy
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.
Carl Rogers
The more you know yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.
