Perhaps anxiety, depression, substance use, difficult relationships, or painful experiences have begun taking up more space in your life than you would like. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Whatever has brought you here, I recognize that reaching out for support can be difficult, and I appreciate what it takes to take that step. I strive to offer a warm, collaborative, and respectful space where we can make sense of the challenges you are facing and identify paths forward that fit with your values and hopes. I believe people are more than the problems they face.
My work is grounded in Narrative Therapy, a collaborative approach that helps people separate themselves from the problems they face and reconnect with their strengths, values, and preferences for life. Together, we focus less on therapy language and more on supporting you to move toward the life and relationships that matter most to you.
I work with youth (12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and concerns related to identity and self-esteem. I strive to offer a space where you feel listened to, respected, and understood. I welcome you to reach out to explore whether we might be a good fit.

I have spent my career working alongside people who have felt stuck, overlooked, or as though they don't measure up. I believe deeply that change is possible and am committed to creating space to explore both the challenges bringing you to therapy and the hopes, values, and possibilities you want more of in your life.
