Accepting new clients for in-person, virtual and walk and talks. I provide same day call back and accept United Healthcare/Optum. We all encounter major stress and loss and often we recover well on our own. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, confusing and too big to process alone. I am passionate about helping clients connect to their core values in therapy. We'll use mindfulness-based therapies to help you become aware of thoughts and behaviors that prevent you from experiencing a joyful and authentic life. I enjoy using humor, creativity and self-compassion in my practice.
I specialize in helping adults that are struggling with a difficult life transition and experiencing depression, bipolar or anxiety. Many of my clients are creatives, professionals, parents who feel overwhelmed, exhausted and anxious. Often, they struggle with low mood, work-life balance, family conflict and relationship stress.
I love my job and I recognize it’s a privilege to support clients in their growth. It’s important that we have a positive connection so we build trust and you can process on a deeper level. I offer a free telehealth consultation to ensure we are a good fit and that you feel comfortable with virtual sessions.
