I work with teens and adults on struggles such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, addiction, identity questioning and transitions (LGBTQIA+ affirming), codependency, issues in relationships, and more. I’m passionate about helping clients who want to heal in ways that allow them to move forward and remove obstacles preventing them from reaching their goals and embracing their truths.

You are the authority on how you describe yourself or your experience; not me. Those who find the most success in our work together are looking for therapy that has a conversational tone rather than feeling like an evaluation. They are ready to address harmful experiences and establish a path forward, while existing in a society that prioritizes individualism and profit. As a non-pathologizing provider, diagnoses will only be used when required and with your permission.

I offer a compassionate and non-judging space for individuals to reflect on their experience and explore new ways of being in the world that bring deeper meaning and contentment.

This is a time when naturally one does not know what to do. And, the choice is often having to take a leap and do something about it. This a a natural fear for many people. Opening up can seem frightening. A good therapist knows that. Many who take the step for therapy find that is was the right move.
