People seek therapy for many reasons. You may be carrying a painful history, feeling overwhelmed by current circumstances, or sensing that an old way of coping no longer fits the person you are becoming.
Traumatic experiences can continue to affect the body, relationships, beliefs, and sense of safety long after an event has passed. Therapy can help you approach these experiences carefully, reduce their hold on the present, and build a greater sense of choice.
When worry, sadness, numbness, or self-criticism begin narrowing your life, counseling can help you understand what is happening and develop steadier ways of responding.
Retirement, caregiving, loss, changing health, family conflict, divorce, and changes in identity can unsettle even capable and resilient people. Therapy offers a place to pause, clarify what matters, and move forward with intention.
Aging brings real changes, but it can also bring greater freedom, clarity, and depth. I have a special interest in supporting as you navigate loss, changing roles, health concerns, and evolving relationships with friends, family members, and adult children—and as you create a life that remains purposeful and distinctly your own.
Caring deeply for others can leave you exhausted and vulnerable to compassion fatigue or vicarious trauma. If you are a caregiver, medical professional, first responder, veteran or military spouse, or someone whose work asks you to carry difficult things, therapy can offer a place where you can set down some of that weight and receive care, too.
