If you've hit a crossroad in your life; if you're in a place you don’t want to be and want to make changes; if you are having difficulty with your relationships; feeling lost, confused; working through anxiety or depression - I am here to partner with you to navigate these challenges and get to a place where you feel confident, empowered, & content in your life. Sessions are likely to be conversational, flexible, supportive and real (with a dose of humor of course!) I am a provider that values authenticity - who I am in the session is who I am outside of the session - my hope is you will feel safe to do the same!

I work with individuals and couples who are all suffering in their own way. I believe that compassion and acceptance are necessary components of effective therapy. We all have the potential for positive change, but there are times when we have lost our perspective and feel overwhelmed. I offer an environment where you can be heard and affirmed. I believe we can find the answers by working together.

These days many people are realizing how important our mental and emotional health is. Maybe your anxiety has been increasing, or you notice your mood has been changing. Perhaps you’re noticing you are feeling more irritable or preoccupied. Or you’re feeling more drained and less interested in the things you used to enjoy. Or your relationship isn't feeling fulfilling or it's feeling more conflicted. Or maybe, like many, you’re not quite sure what you’re feeling.
