My Approach 

There is nothing more daunting (and brave!) than starting over. Congratulations! You've done the hardest part.

Are you worried about starting over after leaving a religious community?

One of the most challenging parts of leaving a religious community is how difficult it can be to tolerate uncertainty in a world where rules are not rigid, and answers are not clear. My job is to provide a space to wade through the confusion, isolation, and conflicting feelings. I want to help you figure out what a life well lived looks like, and what your values are. If leaving a religious community has cost you relationships, this is a form of grief. It is often accompanied by shame too.  

Are you undergoing a major life transition?

Even if you are not leaving a religious community, but you are undergoing a major life transition, whether it be a break-up, a move to New York, or a career change, starting over can bring up all kinds of confusing and contradictory feelings. In my practice, therapy is a place to uncover these feelings slowly and in your own words, without being told what conclusion to reach.

Are you looking for a therapist who will be an active participant in your healing?

I do not just listen and quietly nod (although sometimes I do!) - I view therapy as a dialogue where I am an active participant. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe and supported as you put your feelings into words. I aim to identify patterns and gently challenge, too, when necessary. 

I feel privileged to be entrusted with my clients’ stories and to share in moments of vulnerability, pain, and joy. I welcome you to bring your strengths, challenges, fears, and hopes to our work together. Therapy can be daunting, but I'm here to support you on your journey.
