Investing in understanding yourself — what makes you unique, what makes you strong, and how you may hold yourself back — is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Self-awareness is like a super-power — it doesn’t solve all life’s problems, but it gives you ways of navigating challenges that make you more likely land well. Whether you are looking for quick tools to help shift your mood, or longer-term support for charting a course through a major life transition, or puzzling through challenges with end-of-life, grief, family, relationships or work, I feel privileged to support your success and be and a part of your story.
We will establish your goals for both therapy in general and for each session, whether you're an individual, a couple or a family. Expect thoughtful questions, a-ha! moments, serious moments, and laughter too. In addition to a masters’-level clinical social work degree, I’ve taken certifications and placements that suit the diverse needs of my clients.
It can be tricky to find the perfect therapist, with so many approaches and specialties out there. Take your time, meet a few, swipe left or right, until you find the right one. To help make the process easier, I offer a complimentary introductory call so you can decide if I'm a good fit for you.
