I believe in the power of empathy, and I vow to challenge you with compassion and care. Your values are at the core of my work. I understand that each person is a constant work in progress, and I will hold the non-judgmental space we create with reverence. It is an honor for me to be part of vulnerable and healing moments with you. I am excited to partner with you to explore whatever you bring to the room and move towards accomplishing your goals. Humor and playfulness are also important to me, and if they are to you, too, we will likely be a good fit!
Therapy does not always have to be the exhausting kind of challenging. I believe it can be the fun kind of challenging, too. I create deeply personalized therapy through meaningful conversations and activities that work to help us both understand you better. I find that this works with individuals, couples, and families well.
Each story is woven differently, and I look forward to hearing yours, if you choose to share it with me. To schedule a session with me, you can contact the clinic's scheduling team through the number or email listed on this site. Thank you for your time!
