Who are you? Who do you want to become? What do you need in life to find meaning, purpose, and to grow? What's holding you back? Let's explore these questions together. Therapy can offer a safe space to navigate and find relief from anxiety, difficulty getting started on the things that matter to you, and to process what in life has shaped who you are. Therapy offers a safe space to understand your past, embrace your present, and create a fulfilling future. Let's uncover your strengths and build a life you love. Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.
I focus on creating a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using a blend of DBT, ACT, existential, emotion-focused, and person-centered approaches, I help you to find goals you believe in for therapy, and the skills you need to reach them. Together, we build a treatment plan tailored to your needs and reasons for coming to therapy.
Together we can explore your lived experiences and find meaning and purpose amidst life's uncertainties. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, hopelessness, self-harm, and relationship conflict. I particularly appreciate working with LGBTQIA+ clients, and clients who are developing spiritually.

I am in-network with most major insurance companies. Even so, I recognize that insurance companies are not straightforward. I try to ensure that I get back to you as soon as your insurance sends me a bill, to ensure you don't get stuck with a large payment you didn't expect.

I often use humanistic, emotion-focused therapy in my practice. I incorporate education and skill-building using ACT and DBT to develop better insight into thought patterns and communication styles. I use evidence-based practices designed to help develop the ability to cope with stress in the moment.
