Whether you’re struggling with emotions, habits, or relationships, it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you or that you’re stuck living this way. When we’re struggling, often times, it’s because our past experiences didn’t equip us with the understanding of ourselves and others needed to live a more fulfilling life. In this way, our symptoms are signals that, if properly understood, can help us figure out what we’re missing. I’m here to help you uncover what’s at the core of your struggles, explore what you want out of life, and find ways to actually get there.
I’ll take the time to understand you—not just your struggles, but who you really are. It's also my goal to make our time together feel as natural and comfortable as possible, rather than like an overly formal meeting. This means I keep things more relaxed, use humor, and show up as a real person.
I would genuinely love to support you in living a more meaningful life, so I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation. I'm excited to learn more about you, address any concerns or questions, and help you find the best path forward—even if that path isn’t with me. I accept Molina, Coordinated Care, and CHPW insurance.

These therapy types can seem confusing (they definitely did to me when I was a client), and I'm more than happy to explain exactly what they are and how they work. What I really want you to know is that we'll work together to find an approach that fits who you are and what you hope to get out of therapy.
