My website
I am a therapist who works with others to define and pursue meaning and paths forward throughout the therapeutic relationship. The human-to-human relationship is the most important aspect of any therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their rock bottoms and dreaded low points, some more frequent than others, and it is in these moments that we seek out our most precious memories and experiences, drawing upon the peace we have felt from others to garner hope for a future with more light to come. At times, we have to be creative, and I strive to be one of these lights in the minds and hearts of my clients in these inevitable moments.
I offer a range of therapeutic modalities as well as time and consideration into your own comfort as a client, I want to ensure that you feel at the most ease as possible during a session. In speaking and processing trauma, confusion, or hopelessness, I want you, at the very least, to feel you have a safe place to come give yourself a chance to discover more
Feel free to reach out if you feel confused or lost about who you are, upset with yourself or someone else, or simply would like to explore why, what, and how you bring yourself to the table in your life. Together we can begin to go as deep as you feel helpful and at whatever pace you feel is suitable for you and your ongoing life. Let us learn together.

I work with people to understand themselves better; the way they live, what they believe and why, and how it all came to be. Our upbringing, choices, and beliefs all shape us into who we are. Where I come in, is when these aspects of us no longer serve us, when we want new ways of viewing ourselves and revealing the greatness and self-love that was waiting to unfold with the right kind of help.

CBT is a cornerstone for my work and can guide us as we explore. Core beliefs and thought patterns often go unnoticed and are trusted without a doubt, when in reality we ought to question why we believe, behave, and react the way we do to the world and ourselves. We also build the narrative of your life: who is on stage, who is the narrator, and who is in the audience in the story of your life?
