Everyone faces times in their lives when they need help navigating the transitions and challenges of life. Whether it is a job change, problems in a relationship, difficulty with mood, feeling stuck, issues from the past, or coming out issues related to sexual orientation or gender. My belief is that good therapy offers a space for reflection, gathering insight, building skills to cope with strong emotions, feeling valued and being heard. I particularly enjoy working with creatives, artists, and performers who must balance the unique way they see the world with society’s expectations. Clients typically attend therapy on a weekly basis and sometimes move to less frequent sessions (bi-monthly or monthly) as goals are met and if clients wish to stay connected and continue to maintain progress.
