Hello and welcome. If you’ve found your way here, it likely means you’re carrying something heavy. Life is a tapestry of joy, fear, love, sorrow, wonder, and pain. To be human is to feel deeply, but sometimes that pain becomes more than we can manage alone. While pain is an inevitable part of growth, suffering doesn’t have to be. The fact that you’re here means something profound: you’ve made a choice. A choice to respond to your hurt, to move toward healing. That is a brave and beautiful thing —and I’m honored to walk alongside you in that journey.
I believe insight and choice are at the heart of change. Choosing to begin therapy is a powerful action that already shows the resilience, strength, and courage inside of you. You have begun the path toward healing, and it is a great honor to be there with you to act as a collaborator, guide, and partner in the journey. You have a unique story that has led you here and it is my aim to explore that story together to uncover, understand, and process pain, trauma, emotions, stories, values, and ethics.
I view therapy through a systemic lens. We are individuals but we are not alone. We are a product of families, systems, communities, and societies. These things influence and affect us in positive and negative ways and cannot be ignored. I want to help you discover the inner workings of the stories you tell yourself, the internal models that you, consciously or unconsciously, see the world through, and the blueprints of your mind. By seeing and understanding these things, we gain insight into who we are. I also seek to help you understand what it is you are living for. For so many people, life happens to us. I hope to help you uncover those things you truly find important so that you can become the driver of your life. Meaning and purpose are key ingredients to a full life and I want so very much to help you find yours.
I have interests in Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, but most of all, I am interested in working with you in whatever ways we can to transform your life into something better.
