I work with adults 18+ who are looking for support with emotional distress, navigating their partner relationships, friendships, or family dynamics, living with the impacts of trauma, adjusting to life transitions, & those seeking neurodiversity-affirming support. There is hope to create a greater sense of connection, safety, and ease within yourself and your relationships. I offer therapy focused on deepening self-understanding, developing tools for a meaningful life, and discovering your healthier way of responding to life. We will explore approaches to your unique story to find more authentic ways to thrive in your day to day.
I am conversational, directive, and bring humor to my sessions. In my approach to therapy, I center safety and curiosity while working from an existential-humanistic perspective. This means we’ll be working collaboratively to build upon your strengths and values while discovering the actionable skills to guide you toward your goals
Everyone deserves a kind & committed ally so let’s work together to create your balanced and meaningful life. And maybe even have some laughs along the way. Give me a call or send an email to set up a 15-minute consult to get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. If we aren't, I'll be happy to offer suggestions.
