My Approach to Therapy

Any of these thoughts sound familiar:

"I shouldn't get so upset."  "I should be over this by now." "I should know better." "I should be happy."

​

When life is driven by an endless barrage of "should's" (or other unhelpful thoughts), it's not surprising that we feel stressed, depressed, confused, and anxious.  Yet, for many of us, striving to be what we think we should be is our modus operandi; it is familiar and automatic, but exhausting and unfulfilling. 

​

I started Genuine Therapy because I am passionate about offering a safe space where we can get real--roll up our sleeves, so to speak--and dive into the questions, challenges, thoughts, feelings, and concerns that matter most to you in this phase of your life.

​

I believe all of us possess tremendous strength and resilience, even when we feel most vulnerable and uncertain in life. Often, it takes being truly seen, heard and validated in a safe, caring relationship to allow us the freedom to grow and become. 

​

In individual therapy, we can work together to build the kind of relationship that supports your personal growth.  In couple therapy, I help partners foster a safe, supportive, and healthy relationship that can be a foundation for personal and interpersonal success. 

​

If you are ready to let go of pretenses and get real, please reach out.  I look forward to hearing from you.
