I begin therapy by building a strong relationship with my clients. It is my goal that you feel safe and cared for when we are together, and I do my best to step into your experience with you and feel what you are feeling. Clients find me nurturing and have confidence that I am helping them reach their goals. I enjoy working with couples, children, and individuals. With couples, I help uncover destructive relationship patterns and establish new patterns that bring healing, and mutual satisfaction. With children, I provide play therapy and work as a team with their parents and caregivers to reach their goals.

I love helping people who feel stuck. Stuck with spiraling anxiety and panic. Stuck with memories of a distressing or painful life experience that happened a long time ago, but feels like it was just yesterday. Stuck with negative beliefs about yourself. Therapy can help you get unstuck! As someone who has sat on the other side of the couch, I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to start the journey towards healing and growth and I know that it is through genuine connection and the safety of being able to show up and have all parts of you welcomed, heard, and cared for that change and healing can happen.

Looking for a therapist who is a good fit can be overwhelming but it's an important act of self care taking the time and energy for your mental health to be a priority. This is the first step in a commitment to personal growth. My goal is to give you the space, tools and strategies to support you through that process. Growth and change can be uncomfortable but when a client collaborates to do the necessary work it can be transformative. Therapy is uniquely tailored for each client's needs and goals and I work to help clients feel supported and safe in the therapy space for the process to be as successful as possible.

Hello and welcome! In my practice, I provide a supportive space for individuals from adolescence through adulthood. Life often hands us stress that over time, or rather abruptly, can disrupt our sense of calm. We can get stuck, lose track of who we are and what is important to us. By working together, we can explore individual needs, strengthen awareness, challenge obstacles, and build skills to promote wellbeing.
