If you are struggling to find peace and happiness, I want to help. If you are frustrated by injustice in the world, I feel your pain. Using trauma-informed and evidence-based techniques, I offer treatment methods that are unique to each person's needs. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or feeling hopeless about the state of the world, I am here to support and guide you. Let's work together to find some relief.
My approach to therapy is to create a safe space for you to be your true self, and to understand your individual situation and needs. For couples, I will empower you to repair and rebuild your emotional connection with your partner by using methods learned from The Gottman Institute.
Everyone is welcome. To those who are LGBTQ+, I'm here to support and listen. I believe in Health at Every Size (HAES) and encourage my clients to disengage from toxic diet culture. Wherever you are and whatever your goal is, I would be honored to be there with you along the way to improving your emotional health and overall well-being.
