Accepting new clients June 2026! You want to live a life that you love, a life that you fully enjoy. You don't want to have your experiences of the past haunt you today, and you don't want to be consumed with worrying about the future. What’s standing in your way? Whether it’s an emotion or habit you can’t shake, an experience from the past, or anything else — let’s figure this out together.
Working together with compassion, open-mindedness, and a bit of humor, my aim is to support you along this journey and help you thrive in the here-and-now while we build a foundation for a peaceful, fulfilling future. We achieve this by building on your strengths, gaining insight and useful coping skills, using science-backed therapies the whole way.
I know from both personal and professional experience that reaching out for help can be difficult, so if you made it here - way to go! Feel free to schedule your free 15 minute consultation via online portal, email, or phone. I would love to get to know you!
