Each individuals' journey is unique, and integrating all components yields the most authentic and comprehensive self. In therapy expect judgement-free self exploration supported by hope, insight, and skills development.

As a therapist, I believe that each client deserves to have a setting in which they feel safe and comfortable. I believe that therapy is not one size fits all.

I work with a diverse client base ranging from adolescence, adults, families, and couples. I feel that we are all able to overcome obstacles that come our way as long as we are given proper tools and framework to do so. It is important for me to connect with each client so that we are setting realistic goals.

I provide psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and life's deeper existential questions. I know that reaching out for support takes real courage—allowing yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about what matters most is no small thing. I recognize the privilege of walking alongside you during this time, and I'm committed to providing the highest quality care as you work toward meaningful change. Finding the right therapist is about finding the right connection, and I believe therapy should be as unique as you are.

Many of the people I work with are navigating transitions—growing up, growing older, becoming parents, or rethinking who they are in their families and relationships. I support children, teens, young adults, and parents as they move through change, understand the experiences that shaped them, and work through overwhelming emotions. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where patterns can be examined, and meaningful change can take place.

When working with trauma and/or issues of abuse, I believe that in-person is best.
Currently, I work with clients who desire to be full participants in their own health and healing process. My clients are "seekers" by nature -- often on a spiritual quest. Many of my clients have already had years of previous therapy. They do not come to me to work on a "problem." They come to understand their role in the problem, to resolve it, and to learn from it. My "typical" client is someone who wants to transform suffering into meaning and bring purpose to it. Many of my clients are interested in using narrative or storytelling to tell or "rewrite" the stories of their lives.
