Together, we'll explore and better understand what's been happening, how to change patterns, and how to get better results!

I'm a open-hearted therapist with over eight years of experience helping individuals alchemize their self-limiting narratives and behaviors.

My education is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Holistic Studies and Expressive Arts Therapies. I'm an eclectic therapist that primarily pulls from experiential/somatic, relational, and emotionally-focused psychotherapies.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling to cope with overwhelming emotions. They may have experienced trauma or abuse in the past, and they may be struggling with unstable and intense relationships.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to do more than just change their thinking; they want to change their life.

If you have decided to seek professional help you have accomplished the first step. You have been courageous & will now embark on a journey of self-discovery. Finding the most suitable therapist is the second step. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of my clients; I believe that each person should be treated as an individual and that each individual has their own set of needs. I work together with my clients to figure out what those needs are while building trusting, judgment free relationships and through the use of humor whenever possible.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist that has been practicing since 2016. I believe that any person entering therapy has a ton of courage. It's hard to finally open up- let alone to a stranger. I am here to facilitate a safe environment to talk and most of all to listen. It is not always easy to start the journey of self understanding and care. So many feel stuck in a rut and feel they have no options in life. I am here to help you understand yourself as well as to help you see the numerous paths you can take in life.
