Things come up in life and sometimes they've been there since...well, forever, it seems. Sometimes they're new and unexpected challenges. Whatever it may be, we all want to feel a little more grounded, strong, and sure of ourselves. Whether it's the new things, the old things, or the in-between things, it helps to have a someone to be with you as you find your grounding and navigate to healing. It's not easy, but it's definitely worth exploring your experiences and yourself to gain new self-awareness, new ways of navigating the world, and some healing. We can work together to help you find some space/strategies to find relief.

In my experience, therapy works best when it feels true on the inside each client. I connect clients and we develop a space where they feel safe, seen, and understood-without judgment. From there, we determine what might work best to achieve goals, release distress, try new things, reconnect with themselves and others, and address issues that impact them.

Simply looking at this website means that you're curious, either for yourself or someone close to you. I encourage you to reach out, and see what change might be possible-gaining hope, conquering anxiety, or finding what works best for YOU. Together, we can explore more of what you're needing, what your strengths are, and how to best achieve relief and hope.

Out of Network

"

I am in-network for some insurance companies, which helps make counseling more accessible. There are many good reasons to seek care outside of insurance, so I see private pay clients and offer superbills for clients who choose to submit to their insurance companies for out-of-network reimbursement.

I work with clients who may be struggling with pain or stress connected to their relationships. Family, partners, friends, work...even a relationship with one's self. I work with clients to get to the root of their issues, develop plans and goals for our work together, and then help them gain awareness and relief. Most clients find they're able to notice a change within the first several sessions.

I use a holistic/humanistic approach in which we get to know each other and develop our relationship so I can best understand what you're looking for in therapy. From there, we will work together to navigate what works best in therapy for you. Often my clients find that by simply being understood in how they are feeling, they experience more hope and less distress in their day-to-day lives.
