Therapy is an opportunity to reflect, develop personal insight, and replace passive pattern-following with active choice-making. It is my pleasure to support you in your self-discovery and help you use the skills you already have to cope with life's difficulties. My goal is to collaborate with you in creating new possibilities, finding more joy and beauty in daily living, and becoming a more present participant in your life. I invite curiosity and self-compassion and offer an empathetic, encouraging, and patient space for you to grow.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals and couples throughout the lifespan navigating challenges related to family and relationships, life and career transitions, sexuality and gender, anxiety, self-esteem and imposter syndrome, the creative process and artistic professions, perfectionism and burnout, having a body, and existential questions.

Therapy is not always easy and comfortable, however I promise that I will work to make you feel seen and safe. By seeking therapy, you demonstrate a willingness to invest in yourself and seek challenges that service your growth. It is my honor to meet you where you’re at on your journey and join you in your process.
