Have you ever wanted to begin counseling, but didn’t feel like your problems were big enough? Or, have you ever ghosted a therapist because you didn’t feel helped? Me too. So, we go it alone - doing everything to change ourselves and our relationships. We continuously find ourselves stuck between what we want to do and what we “should” do. This dilemma often shows up as anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. That’s why it’s my mission to provide approachable counseling that works.

Therapy begins before our first session with our thorough diagnostic assessment. When you arrive at your first appointment, I will already have a strong understanding of your background, attachment style, negative patterns, symptoms, as well as a list of follow up questions to consider our next steps. We get to jump right into the work, in the direction that feels most productive to you!

My typical client has already tried behavioral therapy once, but have been able to sustain their gains or build upon such insight. I use a variety of holistic frameworks to help people organize their past so that the presence makes sense. This includes somatic-based therapies, integrative part-work, and existential therapies. My greatest goal is restoring my clients' sense of freedom and choice.
