I help people get unstuck, break free, find clarity, and move forward. When we work together, you will experience a space free of judgment and full of grace and understanding. You will also experience challenges to set aside behaviors that no longer serve you and you'll be encouraged to identify with the bravest, kindest, most hopeful part of yourself. My clients often say to me, "you are harder on me than my previous therapist(s)" and my response is often the same, "It's because I believe in you." And I do! You've got a beautiful life to get on living. So let's get to it.

If you could hit the “pause button” on the voice of fear, shame, anger, or addiction, what would you hear instead? Is it a desire to be loved and accepted for who you really are? Is it hope for a more fulfilling life with joy, rest, purpose, or creativity? Is it faith to believe that you can finally stop beating yourself up, make peace with your past, and make different decisions going forward? You’d be amazed how many people like you and me, have bravely faced their biggest questions in therapy, and found meaningful answers. Let’s see if that can be your story too!
