Are you the type of person who appears strong, but feels unsure or inadequate inside? Do you feel pressure to get things just right? Are you driven to be everything for everyone, but lose sight of you? Do you have difficulty navigating your needs in the context of relationships, work, or life stressors? If any of these struggles resonate, you’ve come to the right person. I’m passionate about helping my clients get unstuck from old and ineffective patterns that get in the way of living a fulfilling life.

We can work together to cultivate a plan for real change. I draw from a range of empirically validated therapies to best meet your needs. I listen carefully, but take an active role. I will ask you to look at that which is difficult, and also focus on your strengths and inborn ability to adapt. I'm warm and incorporate levity and humor when possible.

Good therapy is all about fit. Should you decide to explore if I'm a good fit for you, feel free to click the link to my website or contact me directly. Ultimately, I’m here to support and guide you as you move closer to living a meaningful life. Your path forward begins here, where you'll find a compassionate, skilled partner dedicated to your success.
