Are you feeing overwhelmed and stuck but are nervous to ask for help? I'm glad you're here. My approach to therapy is largely Person-Centered – meaning I respect and honor the capacity that each person has to grow and heal, and that I believe already exists inside of everyone. It also means that I recognize you are a person with unique qualities and experiences. I strive to learn about you as a person outside of your trauma and to get to know all of your parts - the happy, the sad, the angry, the scared - at a pace that works for you. Together, we can work collaboratively to achieve your goals and create the life that you want.

I work with young adults and adults experiencing a variety of issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship and attachment issues, life stressors/adjustments, grief/loss, chronic illness and the effects of all kinds of traumas. I tend to use humor and empathy to connect with and support you through your journey of healing and discovery.

I encourage you to listen to your gut but also, to take a chance. Imagine what it might feel like to put yourself first. Although the work is hard and can be uncomfortable, I am here to support you and push you to be your best self. Upon reaching out, you will be contacted by Turning Leaf Therapy's intake coordinator to help you with the next steps. Thanks!
