Successful therapy begins with a trusting, supportive relationship. I work hard to create a space that becomes whatever you need it to be — safe, tailored, and built around you and your path forward. Together, we’ll focus on finding solutions and easing the suffering that life throws our way. Drawing from evidence-based techniques and years of experience in education, nonprofits, private practice, and life itself, I meet clients exactly where they are. I also believe healing doesn’t have to happen in a chair. I embrace active, real-world therapy and outside-the-box approaches - whether thats walking, being out in the world, gaming
I believe that understanding our inner voice—and where it comes from—paired with the brain’s natural wiring, gives us everything we need to gain the awareness and control we seek.
I also hold tightly to the belief that “rough seas make strong sailors.” Life can be incredibly unfair, but learning how to face and climb those walls is essential to reaching our full potential. There are many paths to healing and peace. Together, we’ll find the one that’s right for you.
