As a therapist, I understand that the decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one. Thus, my goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that experiencing vulnerability or revisiting difficult experiences can be overwhelming. While everyone has the tools within themselves to flourish, life experiences can make it challenging to connect with those strengths and abilities.

I view therapy as an invitation to bring awareness to the here and now. For many of us, we press forward, through, and over difficult feelings when they arise in our daily lives. Often they show up as unwanted thoughts or images. They not only fill us with dread, but we will go to great lengths to avoid them. On the other hand, what if moving toward our feelings actually reduces the influence they have over us, allowing us to attend to the very things we value, thereby creating meaning and purpose in our lives.

Are you seeking a space to be seen and heard? Are there parts of you that are feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Are the big emotions feeling particularly heavy? Your story is important and is what makes you uniquely you. I believe that we are shaped by our past experiences, relationships, and environments. Our stories rarely unfold in the way we expect. Oftentimes, to move forward we need to heal from things in our past. Together in therapy, we will explore all parts of your story – from the chapters already concluded to those not yet written.
