Mental health as an adult can be daunting even more so when we are trying to figure out who we are and what it means to "be yourself". From the start of adulthood, we barely become adults at 18 years old and we are thrust into the world of responsibilities and expectations of knowing who we are and what we want. On top of that we aren't given much guidance to help us achieve what others expect of us. Thus, we are left navigating life with only the knowledge and experiences that have brought us to this point. Sometimes we've learned adaptive skills that work in any area of life but sometimes we learned skills that no longer serve.
I specialize in taking a person centered approach to therapy and to wellbeing. Your wellbeing doesn't look my idea of wellbeing or anyone else's idea of wellbeing. We are all unique and different in that sense. I see my role as a guide helping you identify those different areas in your life so you can decide what to do with those experiences.
Therapy can be scary, daunting, vulnerable, and intimidating all at the same time. However, I hope that through this process we will be able to help you achieve the best version of yourself. A life that we can be proud of, a life of meaning and fulfillment. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

I am currently Private pay only though I am actively working on getting onboarded with major insurance companies. I believe that finances should not stop us from achieving wellness. To this extent I offer "Pay What You Can" option.

I take a person centered approach to therapy. Now we've all heard people throw that word around. Here's what it means to me in practice. Just like how life can be messy so can treatment. One day we may work on addressing deep childhood wounds the next might be about the stress of work. Similarly I cater my approach to what makes the most sense to you.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment therapy in my practice. However, I cater my approach to you. Beyond the theoretical jargon that makes up so many of these posts. I like to provide insight and awareness in a manner that makes sense to you. Ultimately my goal is to help you understand and accept yourself in a way that adds to your life.
