There are times in everyone's life when we feel stuck, unsure, or worried about what we need to do to get our life moving forward in a positive direction. These are the moments when a therapist can support, encourage, or even carefully confront you to take the next steps on your life journey. I work with clients to create an emotionally safe environment in which to explore your options and help you draw upon your inner resources to regain balance, energy, and focus.

I believe that therapy can be helpful for everyone. Every stage of life brings its own unique challenges and speaking with a therapist can help bring clarity, closure, and a new perspective to our lives. I use a variety of theoretical frameworks to help my clients, I don't believe one way of looking at things provides the best help for each individual. You are an individual and your life journey looks different to everyone else, so I tailor your therapy to you personally. Why are you looking to therapy, what do you want to achieve, help me plan your therapy session, but also I like to explore what experiences have shaped you.

I believe growth is possible, even in the face of adversity. My goal is to help people gain the capacity to handle the messiness of life. Struggle doesn’t mean something is wrong with you; it simply means you are human. The work of therapy is to help you navigate life as it is and create the life you ultimately desire. I aim to create a supportive, person-centered space where we can explore your resilience and work toward finding balance—with a touch of humor along the way.

Do you want a more meaningful relationship with yourself? Do you struggle to see your own humanity, but can clearly see others’? I work to deliver therapy tailored specifically to you.

Each session is a collaboration where your concerns are respectfully and caringly explored with curiosity and compassion. I find that most clients often want more than coping skills, they want a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions.
