Healing can happen with the courage to understand one’s own life story. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward prioritizing emotional well-being, promoting healthier behaviors and routines, and fostering self-compassion. This journey often includes examining the dynamic challenges that impact our relationships. As each person presents with a unique set of strengths and challenges, I strive to personalize treatment to meet your personal goals, build upon your strengths, and help you feel in control of your life. Most importantly, I prioritize doing this work in a warm & supportive environment.

Therapy is, above all, a partnership. As your therapist, I create a space where you are heard, validated, and accepted as you are. Many of us have very few places in our lives where we can be our most authentic selves. It is through this level of trust and respect that true transformation and healing can occur. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. I will help you to see all your inherent strengths that depression, anxiety, or life stressors may be clouding your vision of. Through our therapeutic connection and evidence-based strategies, we can clear the lens and allow you to envision the path forward.

You feel like you are not where you should be in life, like other people have it figured out, but you have not. You have a wall up that is meant to protect you, but instead, makes friendships or relationships difficult. You may even find yourself sabotaging so others never find out what’s behind the wall. This may be from a traumatic event or a life-time of trauma where you felt like you were just trying to survive. Sometimes it’s hard to trust yourself to make decisions or trust that other people really like you. You try to distract yourself, but you keep finding yourself back in your own head feeling lost.
