Life is messy. My job is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space focused on you—your needs, thoughts, feelings, fears, dreams, and everything in between. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel heard and understood, to help you understand and accept yourself, and to help you develop the tools you need to move through life's messes in the best way possible. I am enthusiastic about working with children, families, young adults, and those working through life transitions.
We will work together to cultivate the skills and processes needed to improve all aspects of life. I am a certified PCIT therapist and can help your family improve relationships and work through challenges. Additionally, I'm rooted in a holistic, humanistic approach that allows teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, life adjustments and past trauma.
I believe therapy is a space to experience and explore emotions, examine thoughts and beliefs and expand self-awareness and understanding. And I would like to support you along the way. I'd love to share more about the therapeutic process and answer any questions you might have. Please call or email to get started today!
