We all struggle at times, and being a human in this life can feel lonely and like no one understands. Reaching out for help can be terrifying and may feel risky.

I see my role as a therapist as someone to apply my expertise to walking alongside you in your healing process and goals. I work with individuals & couples, including children age 4 & up, as well as adolescents & adults. My scope of practice includes, but is not limited to trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relational concerns.

We all experience bumps and bruises throughout our lives. These bumps and bruises can damage our relationship and alignment with ourselves. We can feel lost, aimlessly wandering around trying to rediscover ourselves. You don't deserve to walk through life just surviving, but rather living with vibrancy and empowered by self-worth.

I believe in a true therapeutic partnership with my clients. Growth fosters growth! Let's grow together to become the best versions of ourselves.
