If it's taboo, I want to talk about it. I like to keep it real—laughter, tears, swear words. These are all useful tools in therapy, and in life. I believe that therapy is more than me asking, “How do you feel about that?” Therapy can inspire growth, change, and self-acceptance. It is a discussion. A process. An adventure (even if it’s a f*cking messy one). I can’t promise you that it won’t be a bumpy ride—the road of personal growth is often anything but smooth. But I can promise you this: I val...

It is possible to overcome seemingly insurmountable life challenges and find stability. Psychotherapy can light the way from chaos and hopelessness towards self-acceptance, meaning, and control.

For the past 12 years, I have been working with a diverse mixture of individuals and couples using primarily psychoanaly...

Therapy is a space where stories unfold and evolve. The stories we create about ourselves and our experiences shape how we understand our lives and the world around us. These stories can offer us comfort and strength, but at times, they may also bring distress or hold us back from living the life we desire. When we feel stuck in these limiting stories, we can feel hopeless. But together, we can explore these stories—how they’ve impacted you and what they mean. Through this process, we’ll work to...
