Rather than fixating on the problem, I help clients discover positive pathways rooted in their strengths to help them move forward. I offer 1:1, relationship, and group coaching to help clients discover a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and enjoyment in life. Using positive psychology coined, "the science of happiness" we prioritize what is life-giving to you. We go beyond fixing what already exists, sparking inspiration to design the wholehearted life that you aspire to live. With a compassionate approach, I empower clients to get unstuck, remove potential barriers, and navigate new approaches for a more vibrant future.

I don’t want to give you the usual pitch on what I can offer as a therapist. The truth is, there are a lot of amazing therapists out there. There are also many that might not be the right fit for you. At the end of the day, finding a strong connection with a therapist is what matters most for seeing results. So I will be as direct as possible- I connect best with clients who are curious about new perspectives and want to think deeply on how they came to be the person they are today. Those who are looking to improve themselves and their relationships tend to connect best with the way I work. If this sounds like you, please read on.

Therapy for Women - You may be navigating a challenging fertility journey, or feeling stressed about your “biological clock.” Or maybe you’re unable to stop thinking about pregnancy loss, or a difficult childbirth experience. Or you’re pregnant or postpartum, but it's been a long road to get here, and it doesn’t feel the way you expected. Cycles of hope and disappointment can become overwhelming. Sometimes you wonder if you're doing something wrong; it seems so easy for everyone else. The stress impacts your relationships, work, sleep. You've pushed through difficulties in the past, but toughing it out alone isn't working this time.
