I am accepting new clients for Therapy Intensives ONLY. For more information on Therapy Intensives, please visit my practice website. All other outpatient counseling services- I will be happy to add you to my waitlist!
I value the transformative and healing process that therapy can provide, especially in areas of trauma, addiction, and anxiety. I provide a safe and supportive space, while bringing a "conversational" approach to therapy sessions. From children, adults, individuals, and couples, it is imperative that you feel heard when working with me as your Therapist.
Before you go....I appreciate you pausing for a moment for yourself, loved one, child, partner, or friend to seek support in life. I look forward to talking with you soon!

When we meet for your initial session, we will talk about your goals in therapy. If you don't have a specific goal or are unsure what you want to talk about, that's ok too. My goal is to also provide a safe, calm therapeutic space where you can.
