Hi. Welcome. I’m so happy you’re here. Therapy can be such a life altering experience when you are with the right therapist for YOU. It is important to me that I provide a safe, warm, & accepting space for you to explore & learn about yourself. Whether you’re presently going through something incredibly confusing or painful, looking to heal things from your past, or hoping to work toward being your best self in the future, I’d be honored to support you on your way. I’m here to be with you as you face the emotions, thoughts & behavior that have got you stuck.

In our busy and sometimes stressful lives, self-care is imperative. Tending to our own mental health may become necessary if the struggle becomes overwhelming to manage alone. Once you've made the decision that therapy is the next step for you, finding the right neutral, compassionate, non-judgmental and empathetic therapist is of the utmost importance. My mission is to build a therapeutic alliance with you using a collaborative approach to reach your goals. The evidence-based approaches and interventions that I use are designed to assist you in further identifying and tapping into the strengths you already possess.

I view myself as both witness and teacher. I have the privilege of bearing witness to your experiences and holding space for all the emotions that accompany them. Sadness, anger, joy, fear are all welcome here. When we do the work of really trying to understand ourselves more fully, we learn how to respect ourselves and teach others to do the same. It is my desire to help you discover who you are, sort through hurts and traumas that continue to affect you in undesirable ways in the present, and learn to live in alignment with your values and priorities so that you can flourish personally and relationally.

Everyone has their own story or life experiences. I assist clients with helping them process through this, challenging negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and help resolve these previous experiences or emotions affecting them. I hope to provide a different view of the things that you are looking to address or explore in order to help you move forward in life successfully based on goals that you have set forth for yourself personally and professionally.

I have years of experience doing individual, premarital, and couple therapy. I am especially sensitive to those who've had losses and are coping with sadness, sorrow, or grief. My clients tell me I have exceptional listening skills and the ability to make each person feel valued. I value each person's story and honor it as I help people find meaningful, healthy, and productive lives.

My therapeutic perspective comes from the belief that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation of all meaningful work you do in session. I strive to create an environment that allows you to feel comfortable and accepted to work on hard things. I enjoy supporting clients to explore the connections between earlier life experiences and their current symptoms. I believe you are the expert in your own life and will assist you in seeking better understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I hope to help you notice how emotions show up in your body, learn skills to cope in healthier ways, and feel more grounded.
