Thinking about starting therapy? You may be experiencing difficult emotions that you're struggling to process, having issues in important relationships in your life, repeating specific behaviors that you want to change, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection with yourself. Whatever your reason may be, a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in achieving your goals. If you're looking for a therapist who will be real with you, encourage your growth, and accept you as you are - we might be a good fit!
Our work together will be curated to fit your specific goals, combining approaches like psychodynamic, relational, IFS, and EMDR. We'll work together to figure out what type of work resonates for you.
I believe therapy doesn't have to feel so formal; it should feel genuine and connected. I offer an environment that feels warm, playful, and easy to open up in. We'll connect on a human-to-human level, while still doing deep therapeutic work.
