We are all becoming. Becoming more confident, more weighed down by the stressors of life and our relationships, more independent, and more unsure of our identity or place in the world. And the most confusing part: all of those ‘becomings’ are happening at the same time. How are we able to celebrate the joys in our worlds while feeling tied to pressures that are both external to us and internal, hitting close to vulnerable wounds? Welcome to Becoming Therapy Services. By engaging in open and collaborative dialogue, we will use tools to help discover the stories that deserve a voice and parts of you that exist beyond the surface.

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples at any point of their own unique life’s journey. My aim to unburden anxiety, feelings of loneliness, negative self-image, depression, unwanted perfectionism, grief, complex family and relational dynamics, and feelings of ‘stuckness’ and helplessness sits at the forefront of my mission.

Through the use of strength and values based lenses, we will work together to understand and rewrite your narrative of becoming. My own values of authenticity, community, humor, adventure, and justice strongly influence how I show up both inside and outside of the therapy room. Above all, our connection means the most to me - please reach out for a consult!
