I support adults (18+) who feel stuck in life transitions and unsure of their direction and relationships, work, parenting, or identity. Many are high functioning but experience anxiety, stress, overthinking, and difficulty making decisions. Clients often seek therapy when they notice recurring patterns that no longer feel right but feel uncertain about how to change them.

As a therapist, I believe change occurs through relationships; the relationship we have with our Self, others and the environment around us can greatly shape how we feel day to day. I foster a therapeutic relationship that allows a safe, non-judgemental space for reflection, insight and growth. Life can bring all sorts of challenges and difficulties, and I am privileged to help people get unstuck. My work focuses on helping adults and teens navigate major life changes, work through challenging childhood experiences, and change our relationship to unwanted feelings of anxiety and depression.

For myself, I've found therapy to be a deeply safe relationship from which I could gain new perspectives on my challenges and have another set of caring eyes help me to identify my strengths. This is, of course, difficult. But it is also relieving and can lead to immense growth and healing. Therapy can help you experience joy more deeply and approach emotional pain more honestly, and, therefore, productively. It can help you to make choices that lead you closer to yourself and the life you want. I am deeply committed to supporting my clients in their own unique version of this process.
