"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
I am dedicated to helping people heal, cope more effectively, and improve their overall quality of life. I offer psychotherapy for those who are grieving, suffering as the result of a traumatic experience, or enduring other emotional difficulties such as depression or anxiety, substance use, or coping with thoughts of suicide or self-directed violence.
I value each individual as unique in their struggles and strive to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and a space for the safe and supported exploration of mental health concerns. Therapy is about you and your needs, and I aim to serve as a guide on your journey to recovery. If you feel a little help is needed, I hope you will reach out.
