Get to know me
- The kind of client I work especially well with
- People who look capable on the outside but feel caught between their own needs and the expectations of people they love.
- What our first session feels like
- Structured but unhurried. I will ask what is happening now, what you have already tried, and what would make therapy useful.
- A belief that shapes my work
- Relationships can be both the source of old patterns and the place where new, healthier experiences begin.
- My approach in three words
- Warm, candid, collaborative.
- What progress can look like
- Speaking more honestly, recovering from conflict faster, and making choices without abandoning your values or yourself.
