About

I will say what most profiles will not: starting therapy is awkward. You are trusting a stranger with things you barely admit to yourself, and hesitating makes perfect sense. I grew up in a family of caregivers, so looking after people was our household language long before it became my job. These days I work with adults whose stress has outgrown the usual fixes, the vacations and gym memberships and promises to slow down. Most of my clients have been running on empty for so long they mistake it for a personality trait. We take it seriously instead, and things begin to shift. I try to make this the easiest hard conversation you have ever had. Sessions with me feel like talking with someone who is really interested, because I am. Bring the awkwardness; it burns off faster than you would expect. Get in touch when you are ready.
