It's your life. You're in charge, and you don't have to do it all alone.

The hardest thing most of us can say is "I need help." It doesn't mean you are weak, broken, or less than others. It means that you want to learn and grow so your life can be different. Better.

About

Psychotherapy for Adults

You bring the issues, what you've tried so far, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I provide information, perspective, skills teaching and practice, and a supportive ally who appreciates how hard and weird this can be while all the time recognizing your humanity and courage. Together we build a working relationship through exploration of your feelings, beliefs, and experiences. I have years of training and experience in this field as well as in life. We start with understanding where you are and where you hope to be. I think of it as "How do I get there from here?" Then we work through the process of recognizing burdens, beliefs, and/or behaviors which do not support the life you want to lead and how to let them go, tweak them, replace them... or even accept them. I will respect your autonomy and choice throughout.
