Our work in therapy begins with a premise that I think you’re magic—every part of you, even the ones you’d like to keep tucked away. I hope to provide a space and a relationship where you feel safe and brave enough to bring all parts of yourself. I want to work with you to help you see that you have everything you need to be all that you already are. I will follow your lead and help you get to the heart of why you’re here, what has shaped you, and who you want to become. And I'll believe you at your word as we navigate each turn of your life experiences. I’m here to hold a mirror to you and help you find your way back to yourself.
