I offer both in person and telehealth sessions in an effort to best meet the needs of my clients.
Taking the first step to reach out and seek professional therapy services can be difficult and intimidating. Working through trauma, feelings of self doubt and worthlessness, negative self talk, navigating family and other interpersonal relationships, and managing your emotional state is often necessary in moving forward on a path of happiness and personal wellness. Therapy can be beneficial in many different ways in helping you take control of your life and learn to manage your emotional state in the healthiest way possible for you. Having the opportunity to share in your journey and work with you is a privilege that I value.

I am able provide in person or online counseling (online only in California).
My philosophy of therapy is holistic, meaning that I believe people are made up of many parts: body, soul (mind, emotions, will), and spirit. These parts must function in a balanced relationship in order for us to thrive. How we feel about ourselves and how we view the world affects the quality of our relationships. When we can balance a positive identity with our role in the world while also remaining connected to others, we feel whole. Brokenness can occur if any of these relationships are out of balance. In therapy, I help my clients assess the lack of balance so they can figure out how to get whole again.
