So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.
