Hello friends! I’m passionate in empowering individuals through providing a safe space of exploration, wonder, and curiosity to work through the adversities faced in pursuit of seeking joy and validation. I am client centered and incorporate positive psychology in sessions. It can be challenging to reach out for help and can feel a variety of ways. I hope to provide a secure space for people to feel heard and validated. When working with teens or children, I take a collaborative approach with the parents. It is so important to me to providing a safe nonjudgemental space.

I believe that part of the human experience is to weather change. This can feel overwhelming, lonely, or confusing, and you don't have to go through it alone. Searching for a therapist can feel daunting, especially if you're already struggling. My approach to therapy is to walk alongside my clients in their journey as a fellow traveler, providing guidance and evidence-based psychotherapy theories along the way. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I can help you untangle complicated emotions to reveal a sense of purpose in your life.

Do you feel disengaged or dissatisfied with life? Do you struggle with caring for yourself while taking care of others, pushing your needs to the side. Do you feel overwhelmed, wondering how long you can keep up with being the one who “keeps it all together.” Are you a high achiever who feels the weight of loneliness despite reaching remarkable milestones? These roles and cycles you find yourself in don’t have to be permanent. I want to help you find the harmony between career, roles and personal fulfillment. Therapy can bring a curiosity and personal practice that helps you feel grounded in a sense of self, agency and self-trust.

Good therapy begins with genuine, unconditional, positive connection to another human being. Feeling stuck and unsatisfied, confusion, and challenging life circumstances makes living an authentic life difficult. I enjoy helping people work though and understand their unique circumstances in order to increase personal growth and to improve the quality of their lives.

As individuals, we are shaped by our experiences and in order to move forward, it is often necessary to explore our past. Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are my primary forms of therapy used. As the client, it is important that you understand your own story, and how your emotions, actions and problems fit into the context of your story.

Living with anxiety is overwhelming! You're probably noticing how it affects everything from work, school, relationships, and even sleep! Many that struggle need relief but don't know how to find it. Maybe it has taken over and you can't remember what it is like to feel at peace with yourself. Maybe that sounds impossible. It might be hard to make sense of what is happening and why you feel the way you do. You are feeling that way for a reason! When we don’t make sense to ourselves things can feel hopeless. You don’t have to live with feeling overwhelmed forever. We can make sense of your anxiety together.
