One of my favorite quotes is "the absence of illness is not wellness." It reminds us that feeling better isn't solely about healing from our past or suppressing the feelings that ail us, but that wellness is an active and intentional process that requires a commitment to self. What practices are we putting in place to sustain better? Are we working toward something meaningful, or simply running from discomfort? Most importantly, do we have the grace and self compassion necessary to get us where we are going? Let’s work through the hard together and move toward a life where wellness becomes the foundation for your self-actualization.
My aim has always been to empower people and couples to be the best versions of themselves through deep listening, collaboration, goal setting, and leaning on the strengths of my clients and our relationship. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the evidence-based theories of PCT, CBT, SFT, positive psychology, and psychodynamic therapy.
Therapy can be more than where we go to stay afloat. It can and should be where we go to self-actualize and establish deeper connections to those that we love. I look forward to hearing your story, walking alongside you during our journey, and celebrating your successes.

A Person-Centered approach is the foundation of how I show up for my clients. Though the goal is always to collaborate with the client on their journey to becoming their best selves, it is also important that they feel welcomed and worthy as they are and where they are. Growth requires humility and grace in abundance. Your best self is not a destination but a series of choices you make everyday.
