While many techniques I employ can help in the immediate, the goal is to find long-lasting change. This may be uncomfortable or difficult, but through that discomfort comes a more meaningful existence. This is done with the warmest, most supportive environment possible. Hard work can be wrapped in comfort and support to make the journey a little less hard. I want you to feel safe even during difficult moments. The most important person in our sessions is you. You are the focus, and I am unashamedly on your side - our goal is to help you reach your most authentic self. I will push you to do the hard work but also be your biggest cheerleader. We will take on challenges together; you will never be alone.show moreWhat should a new client know about working with you?My clients tend to be individuals searching for someone that wants to do deep, meaningful work together. Many are looking for a therapist that meets them intellectually, and pushes them while still keeping an empathetic ear. There is a balance between tough work and support that is very important. Some of my particular areas of expertise include grief/loss, women's issues, as well as affirming LGBTQ adults and youth.show more
