You Don’t Need a Diagnosis to Reach Out

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns.

You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong before reaching out. That’s part of what we can discover together.

Areas of focus

Where We Can Begin

My specialtyTraumaA safe place to process past experiences and feel more free in the present. Read more

Past experiences can continue to affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond emotionally long after the event itself has passed. Therapy can provide a safe environment to process these experiences and develop a greater sense of safety, integration, and freedom in the present.

Anxiety & DepressionExploring the patterns underneath, while building tools for difficult moments. Read more

Rather than focusing only on symptom reduction, we can explore the underlying emotional, relational, and psychological patterns contributing to your anxiety or depression while developing tools to help you navigate difficult moments.

Relationships & AttachmentUnderstanding your patterns, communicating more effectively, and finding deeper connection. Read more

Relationships can bring out some of our deepest fears and vulnerabilities. Therapy can help you understand your patterns in relationships, communicate more effectively, develop healthier boundaries, and experience greater connection and intimacy.

Self-Esteem & Inner CriticismUnderstanding where the inner critic comes from, and building a kinder relationship with yourself. Read more

Many people have an internal voice that tells them they’re not good enough, successful enough, attractive enough, or worthy enough. Therapy can help you understand where these beliefs come from and develop a healthier and more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Life Transitions & Feeling StuckWhen there’s no clear crisis, but you know something needs to change. Read more

Sometimes there isn’t a clear diagnosis or crisis. You may feel stuck in your career, relationships, emotional life, or sense of direction. Together, we can explore what is keeping you from moving forward and identify what you need to create meaningful change.

Spirituality & MeaningIf spirituality is an important part of your life, it can have a place in therapy. Read more

For some people, questions of meaning, purpose, spirituality, and one’s place in the world are central to psychological well-being. If spirituality is an important part of your life, it can have a place in therapy.

Other Concerns

You don’t need to see yourself perfectly reflected in a list of diagnoses or symptoms to reach out.

If you’re struggling emotionally, having difficulty in your relationships, or simply feel that something needs to change, we can talk about whether therapy might be helpful.

It is in the darkest places that the light shines brightest.
