Message to clients

Life can come at you fast, along with all the challenges and changes that it brings. We all experience times of turbulence and turmoil that can overwhelm our ability to cope. Whether seeking support and perspective, or taking the first steps on a journey to healing, you're in the right place. My goal is to provide a warm and non-judgmental space for you to share your story. I offer psychodynamic-based therapy to help you examine the way your early experiences and relationships have impacted your world. This is a path we can walk together.
