"I view therapy as a process that can facilitate healing and change, as well as understanding and fulfillment. Whether stuck in a conflicted relationship, feeling lost, struggling with depression or anxiety, adjusting to a transition or life change, feeling unable to break unhealthy patterns or resolve past issues and pain, it can be difficult to know where to start. Together, we can explore the issues you face and identify the direction you want your life to take and the steps needed to get you there. Once established, our relationship can provide the foundation and safety for this process."

"Therapy may begin for a number of reasons; extra support and guidance during a difficult time, a desire for better relationships, or to understand why some aspect of life is not working. At times we can all feel lonely, disconnected, or stuck. With empathy, warmth, and humor I work with clients to become the best version of themselves. We as humans have an amazing capacity to heal, change, and grow. I challenge clients to practice self compassion, authenticity, and vulnerability to build a deeper and more meaningful connection to themselves and others. "

"I think therapy is like a puzzle, you put the pieces together to create a full picture. I focus on helping you develop a deeper exploration of who you are and how you can feel whole again.

The ultimate goal of therapy with me is to develop greater self knowledge, self acceptance and be able to change the things that need changing. Bring your patience, this is hard work and it takes time. I welcome the opportunity to work with you."
