Seeking help is not an easy decision and I am here to provide assistance and support on your journey. It is important to me that I provide an accepting, comforting environment that allows you to feel safe when discussing difficult topics. As a social worker, I see the many factors that affect a person's life rather than focusing solely in the individual.

My therapy space is designed to help clients explore, notice, and align with their needs and values, through further processing of internal and external experiences. The ideal client is on a journey to better understand self, others, and the world around them. Maybe they have some past trauma impacting functioning, or maybe the current season feels really hard and overwhelming. We offer deep curiosity about what healing looks like moving forward in life. They are open to feedback and willing to trust the process and work to further understand what resources and tools might be open to helping them cultivate the life they want.

Life can certainly be overwhelming at times! I have had my fair share of those seasons, times when I wasn’t sure I’d make it out, times when I thought this is how it’ll always be, times when hopeless seemed accurate. Perhaps you are feeling that way now? Or maybe you’re feeling like everything is stagnate, boring, wondering to yourself “what’s the point?” Today more than ever, mental health matters!

Taking the brave step to seeking therapy can be overwhelming. Whether it is difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship issues - it can seem all-encompassing and difficult to manage on your own. As humans, we weren't made to navigate these difficult seasons by ourselves. You deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. I believe that authentic human connection is key to growth and healing. My mission is to strive to create a safe, caring, and non-judgmental space for my clients to aid in emotional processing as they work to achieve their goals.

My ideal client would be vulnerable yet aware in the beginning. They would be open to learning about therapy options. They would also have many questions, including sharing their fears regarding therapy. My ideal client would also be prepared to complete homework assignments and truly engage in each session. During the therapeutic sessions, I would learn what each emotion looks like for my client and how it impacts their lives. My ideal client's growth is evident in each session that they participate in, and they never give up on them.
