Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Or maybe, despite your accomplishments, you're feeling unfulfilled or empty inside, struggling with relationships, or going through a difficult life transition. If you're feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, I am here to help. With several years of advanced training and experience, I use an an integrative, holistic, and individualized approach to therapy. My style is engaging and collaborative.
I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents, offering a safe and supportive space for you to overcome whatever it is that might be causing you distress or holding you back. I am grateful to be doing work that I love and I find it immensely rewarding to help people make profound, lasting changes in their lives.
If you're interested in working together, please send me an email or give me a call. I offer an initial consultation at no cost. During the consultation, you can tell me about what you're looking to work on, you can ask me questions about my background or approach to therapy, and we can get a feel for what it would be like to work together.
