Accepting Same Week Clients! • I’m a direct, compassionate therapist with nearly 20 years of experience helping people cut through the noise and actually feel better. • No fluff, no clichés. Just honest conversation, practical tools, and evidence-based therapy that works. I create a space that’s safe, inclusive, and tailored to you. • Whether you’re stuck, anxious, burned out, or just over it all, we’ll figure it out together. • Therapy doesn’t have to be awkward. • You deserve to feel in control and live your best life, and I’m here to help you get there. • So, let's make real change happen; with clarity, humor, and zero judgment.
My work with past clients ranges from depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, substance abuse, domestic violence, anger, sexual orientation and gender stereotypes, pregnancy, panic, and bipolar depression. I work really well with clients who want to not only discuss changes, but make changes and apply new coping skills and strategies!
Together we will figure out how to make your journey as personal and effective as possible. Change comes with discomfort. Fact. Being individually supported, challenged and empowered to move forward can create motivation and ultimately increase the positivity within daily life. Together we will cultivate a safe space where we can achieve all of these.
