I believe people already have the inner strength and wisdom to move forward; sometimes, they just need help accessing it. Life can cloud our judgment, wear down our confidence, and make our next steps feel impossible. I will help you sift through the messiness of life—offering fresh perspectives, encouragement, and space to breathe. Using experiential techniques like the empty chair, journaling, genograms, and sculpting, I will help you explore who you are and what you need. My goal is to support you in gaining deeper insight, so you can feel empowered to face your challenges with courage and clarity.

I believe that secure and safe connection is an agent of healing. We are all created with deep needs and desires for connection, intimacy, vulnerability, and safety. When any of those essential components of the human experience are broken or entangled with trauma, it can cause dysfunction in our systems and remove health and thriving from our lives. However, it is possible to redeem, restore, and recapture our minds, hearts, and bodies and reclaim health. When clients are able to process their hardest hurts and wounds within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, healing can happen!

Adolescence & young adulthood can be a rocky time for many people, but I believe therapy can be of great help. I work with youth struggling primarily with mood, identity, and neurodivergence. My goals are to help young people build their strengths and relationships in order to find happiness and success as emerging adults. Some of the things I treat are: depression, self-harm, anxiety, family conflict, gender dysphoria, and transition to young adulthood stress. Generally I practice strengths-based therapy and dialectal-behavior therapy (DBT) within a caring, humanistic approach.
