Approaching therapy can be really overwhelming. In reality, therapy with me is about stripping everything down and meeting you where you are.

Through the therapeutic relationship, we form I want to help you get to a place where you feel whole.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner.

In my therapeutic work over the past 15 years I have been uniquely fortunate to watch as potential and destiny unfolds for clients. In my clinical roles I fully espouse a person-centered strength-based focus and approach with clients, to the end of collaborative problem solving with your concerns and goals at the heart of our work together.

If you're navigating the transition from teenager to young adult & feel like you don’t know what to do or who to talk to about your uncertainties, let's connect. Transitions in life are beautiful & necessary, but they can feel overwhelming too. We rarely give ourselves the space to be present, feel deeply, & act with purpose. I want to help you do that by showing you how to consistently connect with your whole self (mind, body, & spirit). I hope to inspire you to give yourself grace & let go of the pressure to perform or have it all figured out. You can have peace & freedom in spite of hard times. It will be work, but it's worth it.
