My website

The folks I work with are often experiencing uncertainty about their relationships and other choices, or feel unmotivated or unsatisfied in their work. They are navigating life transitions including developing their careers, exploring identity and purpose, and building meaningful relationships. They are interested in breaking intergenerational patterns and doing something different with their partners and families. I am passionate about working with people who wish to build trust and deepen their connection in relationships. I am LGBTQIA-affirming and equipped to support those with sexual difficulties or concerns.

As a systemically oriented clinician, I'm attentive to the social and relational context of my clients. I employ a nonjudgmental approach that validates your unique context while holding hope for the change you want to make in your life. I believe that understanding the roots of our behavior allows us to change by releasing shame and building confidence.

The decision to start therapy takes bravery and vulnerability. I am honored to hold a warm and nonjudgmental space for my clients and to witness their process of change. Therapy works best when it’s a good fit, so please reach out if you think this could be it! I look forward to learning more about you and what you’re looking to get out of therapy.

Therapy will be about what you choose to work on, and will go at the pace that you're comfortable with. Together, we will co-create a plan to reach your therapeutic goals. I'm transparent with my clients about what approach I'm using and why. It's important to explore your history to gain a deeper understanding of you as a person and how you might get unstuck.
