It seems to me that at the core of what we want is to know we are loved and deeply known. We want connection and peace with ourselves, family members, partners, and friends. I walk alongside clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self esteem issues, identity, parenting issues, anger, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and couples. I also have experience working with blended families, infidelity, separation, and sexual concerns. I am only available to meet clients online.

Sometimes the hardest thing is asking for help. Choosing to enter therapy is a courageous act and one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Finding the right therapist for you, someone whom you can trust, who makes you feel safe, and believes in you might feel difficult and daunting at times but is also one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy. I feel honored and grateful to each and every one of my clients who entrusted me with their stories and embarked on their healing journey with me. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you gain the necessary insight and skills to live the life you want and deserve.

Everyone wants to know that they matter and that they have worth. Sometimes life gets in the way and interferes with our ability to tap into our sense of belonging and being accepted as we are. Helping clients navigate through life issues and challenges and healing the deeper wounds that affect our day to day functioning is a passion of mine. What does it mean to be "healthy and whole"? Discovering this and working toward healing and thriving where you are at is a rewarding experience!
