Painful & confusing experiences may leave you feeling depleted and hopeless, but life can be better than you imagine is possible. Some of the issues that we can work through are feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, fear, anxiety, lack of meaning in life, unusual beliefs that scare you, paranoia, & hearing unwelcome voices. Recovery from depression & extreme states, often known as catatonia, mania, or psychosis is possible on your terms. Through personal experience & learning from others, I've come to see that distressing experiences are often filled with opportunities for growth and healing.
My approach is gentle and enthusiastic. We'll discuss what your goals are and each week we'll talk about your feelings, thoughts, relationships, and experiences in ways that support growth towards your desired outcomes. I'll help you practice self compassion as we take time to find pathways to the life you want.
Expect our sessions to balance your most pressing concerns with moments of levity to make any challenging work manageable. Together we'll strive to untangle confusion, fear, and emotional pain and uncover a life you’ve longed for. It's never too late to find hope and greater meaning in life. Call me today to see whether we might make a good team.

I help people who experience unwelcome voice hearing, unusual & scary thoughts, intense fear, or difficulty telling what's real. My goal is to help you understand why these experiences are occurring, how to nurture yourself when you feel like you might be going crazy, and help you think creatively about how to navigate these rarely discussed experiences. It's more common than you might think.

My main approach is called Feedback Informed Therapy (FIT.) FIT uses brief weekly questionnaires to elicit honest discussions about what clients found helpful and what they didn't. I use these discussions to create collaborative and personalized sessions. A 2009 study by Reese and others found that clients who gave feedback had about twice as much improvement in outcomes as clients who didn't.
