Therapy is a place where we get to focus on what's important to us: where we've been, where we'd ideally like to go, and everything in between. A confidential place just for you - free from the distractions of work, responsibilities, family and other people's agendas. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are at, and to support you in the ways that you need.

You had the answer all along... so says Glinda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz, smiling from a pastel I have on my office wall. It was a gift from mom when I was 12. That is my philosophy of therapy. I believe the answers that we seek already reside in us. It's a matter of learning about oneself, sifting through what is authentically ours, and what has been conditioned in us to believe. In my work with individuals (teens and adults,) couples, families, and groups, I accompany clients as they grow in self awareness and connect with their inner wisdom.

I feel strongly that how we heal is through human connection. Therapy should be a space for exploration, growth, comfort, empathy, and understanding. If you find yourself burdened by the weight of the world, stuck in unhealthy communication or lifestyle patterns, trying to navigate complex transitions in your life, or wanting to reach new goals, then we can collaborate together. Ultimately, my job is to support the client. I maintain a lens of cultural awareness and social justice while keeping in mind different power structures of our societies.

Do you feel like you are experiencing repetitive patterns in your life that are holding you back or keeping you down? Do you feel stuck in your relationship, job, or other areas of your life?

Life's challenges can sometimes seem overwhelming. You don't have to walk through it alone. Finding the courage to ask for help can be a powerful step on the path to healing. I believe that when people are listened to, understood, and accepted, they can connect to their inner wisdom, build resiliency, and cultivate a sense of well-being. My intention is to create a welcoming, supportive, respectful environment in which you can feel safe to share your truth.

Life transitions—divorce, parenting, or questioning your place in the world—can leave you feeling adrift. I work with "truth-seekers": clients ready to move past surface symptoms to understand their core identity. While I have extensive experience supporting neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD) individuals and their families, my heart is in helping anyone struggling to find their footing. We balance a thorough, nondirective exploration of your history with active, somatic-based skill building. You don’t need to be fixed; you need a collaborative space to finally be understood and grounded.
