Accepting New Clients in person and virtually. If your relationships are a struggle – I am the person for you. Any kind of relationship—the one with your partner, the one with your child, the one with your parent, coworker, or boss, and most importantly, the one with yourself! Instead of bringing you joy, your relationships leave you feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and empty. You struggle to figure out how to remove the hostility and despair you feel. Your thoughts and feelings turn to negativity, and your self-esteem doesn’t hold you up.

Waitlist for new clients
****** Waitlist is currently 3-6 months ****** Walking beside people through their therapy journey is a great privilege and I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have been a therapist for over ten years and get told over and over again by my clients how easy it was for them to let their guard down, to build trust and comfort, and to begin to transform their hopes for therapy into meaningful growth and change. I exude warmth and genuineness and I know that great therapy cannot happen without a strong relationship between client and therapist.

We put a lot on ourselves, we try to fit ourselves into boxes or stretch ourselves beyond our limits. Be the perfect person, child, student, sibling, friend, employee, partner, spouse, and the list goes on and on. Sound familiar? It's exhausting isn't it? We're not perfect (we can't be!), and not only that but the world is so complex and hard to deal with! Embracing our contradictions is part of what makes us beautifully human. Let me offer you a reprieve, a chance to unburden yourself and find solace with where you are on your journey through this chaotic world we have.
