Many of my clients are talented, successful creatives and entrepreneurs; yet they're struggling and embarrassed to admit it - especially when other people seem to have it so much worse.

People who choose me as a therapist are often sensitive, idealistic, and sincere. They have amazing potential, but are having trouble finding traction. When they start therapy, some admit to not feeling fulfilled by work the way they'd like; and that their relationships are "fine," but not as satisfying as they could be. It feels like something is missing, but they don't know what, or where to find it. Behind the social mask, they feel lonely, scared, sad, insecure, anxious, depressed and even hopeless.

I help my clients increase self-esteem and motivation, deepen their relationships, and experience satisfaction in work. I'm skilled at supporting others in finding fulfillment and their place in the world. Bright as you are, I know how dark it can get inside. I see how you show the world you're fine; while privately, you suffer. I assure you, you can heal and thrive.

If we decide to work together, you'll probably be pretty comfortable with me right away. You'll feel like you can share almost anything without being judged - and you're right! It might take a little while until you trust me enough to let me know what's *really* up - and that's more than OK. I'll be there for you anyway, and ready when you are. I accept and support you unconditionally, and you'll be able to tell.
