Sometimes we all need a little extra help, whether we feel stuck, disconnected, uncertain, overwhelmed or just BLAH. Therapy allows us the unique space to slow down, explore and reflect with the support of a new perspective and listening ear. I provide clients with gentle yet direct insights, probing questions, and a safe place to practice new skills, process emotions, and grow through a deepened sense of self. I operate from a relational lens, meaning I believe in the healing power of relationships - our connection with others, to the larger world, and to our own selves as individuals.
I specialize in couples of all identities searching for general relationship support, premarital, or perinatal counseling (fertility, loss, family planning). I also work with adolescents of all identities on issues like depression and anxiety, identity formation, school-based or social challenges, & emotional regulation. I welcome neurodiverse individuals!
Searching for a therapist for the first time or for a new counselor can be overwhelming and exhausting. Congratulations on taking this step! Reach out in whatever way feels most comfortable to you - email, phone, text - for a free phone consultation to see if we are a good match.
