"Therapy helps us to connect more deeply with ourselves and with others…it helps us to heal, to grow, and to find a positive way forward."

Therapy helps us to connect more deeply with ourselves and with others. It offers us a space to reflect on what we’ve been through and where we’re going; who we are and who we're becoming. It is a journey of self-exploration that helps us to heal, to grow, and to find a positive way forward.

My role is to listen, to hear your story, and to support you. I am here to accept you as you are, to be real with you, and to walk with you toward a more authentic and rewarding life. My presence is warm and calm, and my approach to therapy is humanistic, meaning that, above all else, I value building a genuine, human connection with you. It is through the comfort of this connection that we will safely and holistically explore what it’s like to be you. Along the way, I will help you to process your emotions and gain new insights, and I will help you feel empowered to move forward in ways that feel true and right for you.

Meeting with a therapist can feel like a big and vulnerable step, because it is. Most who take the step, however, find it to be meaningful and well worth it. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lonely, or feeling the sting of old wounds, you don’t have to suffer through it alone. I look forward to supporting you in every way I can.

Who I Work With:

I work primarily with adult individuals who are seeking help with depression, anxiety, self-identity, trauma, life transitions, and existential concerns. More often than not, these issues go hand in hand. I tend to work with couples who are looking to improve communication, improve intimacy, and/or navigate a life transition.
