Yes! You’re here. You’ve made it this far in your journey of self-discovery and self healing. I would be honored to assist you further. I like to think of a therapist as a spotter during a difficult mountain climb; sometimes you are so in your experience that you can’t see the path right in front of you, and a therapist can shout out “there’s a good foothold to your right!” A therapist has the ability to help you gain or regain your footing, be stronger where you are, or take a different path. My goal is to help you get where you want to go by helping you climb the mountain, together.
I primarily focus on interventions that encourage you to embrace discomfort and live a life aligned with what is most important to you. With what is meaningful and fulfilling. I provide tools, skills, and support (mixed in with a healthy dose of humor).
If I seem like I could be a good fit then grab your water bottle and hiking backpack, strap on your safety harness, and contact me for a consultation. Even if we aren’t a match, just by reaching out you are starting the climb towards the life you want.

I strive to support clients with the areas they struggle in by helping them connect to their values and increase their willingness to tolerate discomfort so that they can move towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I aim to guide clients to pay attention to their thoughts and emotions while recognizing that these are a part of their experience and not who they are as a person.
