Living well should be about more than just coping with pain! So many of us struggle for years with anxiety, depression, loneliness, "scattered"-ness and difficulty finding and keeping good relationships. Good therapy helps people develop internal resources, gain trust in themselves, and clarify what really matters to them so they can build rich and rewarding lives. As your partner in that process, my goal is to help you overcome obstacles and get tangible results that last!

This is not a "simple thing," finding someone you can connect with to help in your journey can change your life. I know that sentence can be both terrifying and hopeful and I welcome all those parts. I show up with compassion, challenge, warmth, and honesty. Helping you show up to yourself and others is an important part of growth and connection, and we all need it. I offer a holistic approach to therapy, which takes into consideration body, mind/soul, and spirit. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems, an integrative model of realigning ourselves in wholeness.

I view therapy as a space for you, the client to be unequivocally yourself while recognizing that there are so many internal and interpersonal factors alongside systems in place that may contribute to the pain, anxiety, and discomfort one feels. You are the most important person in your own life, and once you start to care for yourself in healing ways, this can be extended to others who you care for and love. I believe that it is important to walk patiently with every individual and I also believe that it is important to discuss how cultural beliefs and societal roles may influence one’s perception and experiences.
