Being a human being is complicated, and complex, and can sometimes be overwhelming. It is therapeutic to have someone to share our true selves with free of judgment. I believe each client holds the answers, and in my work, I support you on your journey. I meet you where you are, and together we identify where you would like to go, and what parts of yourself you would like to call forward. I can help you explore your inner world, and help you connect your internal experiences to your external experiences. I support clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relational dynamics.
I use a psychodynamic framework and collaborative problem-solving to find proactive solutions that include adaptive communication, psychoeducation, interventions, accommodations, and a place to reflect on what is working and what needs to change. I incorporate Internal Family Systems, Narrative Theory, and CBT. There is no one size fits all.
I offer a 20-minute free consultation. Let's talk about it and if you feel I'm the right fit, great. If not, no pressure, and I have many therapists I could connect you with that could be the right fit.

I help clients refocus attention on their strengths and abilities while supporting their challenges. When we shift the conversation to strengths, we shift our inner voice from self-doubt to confidence, and that is when I witness transformation. I use a psychodynamic framework and collaborative problem-solving to find proactive solutions driven by client goals.
