With these efforts, people often find that their distress diminishes, mood increases, and meaning and purpose in life becomes clearer.

Therapy is a journey where we work towards embracing who you are and who you are becoming. I believe we heal in community and in relationships. I strive to offer you a safe space to grow in connection to yourself and others.

When we explore the stories, triggers, patterns, attachment styles and pains that interfere with who and how you want to be, we make space for healing and growth.
