Accepting new clients. When life gets hard, it can be helpful to have a safe place to let it all out. I'd be honored to be that safe place for you.

I will, however, motivate you when you're feeling overwhelmed, comfort you when you're hurt, reassure you when others make you feel unworthy, and challenge you to think differently.

One of the most elemental parts of being human is the need to be heard and listened to.

My top priorities as a therapist are understanding your perspective, how this perspective has shaped your life, and partnering with you in support of your goals.
