Immediate availability for AETNA and SELF-PAY clients. Not feeling comfortable in your own skin? Struggling to adjust to life changes? These are normal parts of the human experience, but sometimes they strain our typical ability to cope. Too often, we blame ourselves for our own suffering. But in blaming ourselves, we miss plenty of nuance and deny the real causes of pain. My passion is to support you as you grow into the best version of yourself. Together, we’ll explore your story. As we go down this exciting road, I’ll help you create your own life narrative which works for you.
Breaking old patterns and ways of understanding the world is difficult work, but the relief that comes after is beyond rewarding. I specialize in young adults and college students. I am particularly passionate about helping folks who struggle with embodied pain, trauma, adjustment difficulties, and relational issues. Therapy is a life-changing experience.
I know how hard it is to reach out, but if you’re ready to experience the joy of therapy, please reach out to set up your first appointment today!
