Do you feel like you're struggling inside, even though others see you as capable? Perhaps you criticize yourself or feel like you're not achieving enough. I work with people who are successful in some areas but feel frustrated, disappointed, or angry, often without knowing why. They may beat themselves up, hide their pain, or give up on their dreams. As a therapist, I help adults and adolescents learn to respect, trust, and care for themselves, so they can live fully again. I tailor my approach to meet your needs, listening with care and respect for your past and where you want to go. I often work with individuals navigating loss, chronic health issues, marginalized identities, and trauma. My approach integrates a developmental perspective, sociocultural awareness, and strengths-based methods. Therapy is often a dance between challenge and encouragement. Once we build trust, I guide my clients in safely confronting the issues they’re facing. My specialty is highlighting moments of success and resilience, even when they might seem small. I’d be happy to discuss whether my approach is a good fit for you and your needs.
