You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and start finding your way back to yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, or just feeling stuck, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength and sense of direction.
I take a warm, thoughtful, and collaborative approach—one that goes beyond surface fixes to help you understand what’s happening underneath. When we make sense of your patterns and experiences together, real change becomes possible—change that holds.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked with adults and couples who want to feel more grounded, confident, and whole. I also lead a small, trusted team of therapists at H1 Therapy, each trained in the same relational, depth-oriented style.
If you’re using insurance or prefer a lower fee, I’ll personally help you find the therapist on our team who’s the best fit for you. If you’re seeking private, full-fee therapy, I continue to take on a limited number of clients myself.
If you’re ready to start feeling more like yourself again, reach out. We’ll find the right path forward—together.
