If you have found yourself in the midst of a change or are looking for your life to feel different, you are in the right place and I am here to help. I help people navigate change: going to college, having a child, mourning the loss of a loved one, ending a relationship, and so much more. I also offer therapy for therapists and seek to create a safe space for fellow mentaI health providers. My goal is to come alongside you and help you feel understood and validated. Send me a message and we can chat about if I might be the right fit for you.
I approach therapy from Psychodynamic and Emotion-Focused theories...which usually looks like talking about how your past experiences are impacting your life right now and exploring your emotions as they come up during our sessions. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health and work with clients navigating trauma and grief.
Having someone with you to validate your feelings while you navigate change can be a powerful experience and I would be honored to be that person for you. The right therapeutic fit can make all of the difference so give me a call or send a message and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
