Compassion and comfort are two of the key building blocks that an effective therapist can offer to their clients. I strive to meet my clients where they are and work hard to support the development of understanding, insight, and daily coping skills. I have experience working with a wide variety of issues and work together with each client to create a warm and accepting space where I believe change is possible for all.

You're feeling stuck. You've tried everything, and nothing has really fixed the problem. Maybe you know what the problem, or maybe you don't. It's not going to fix itself. You've overcome challenges in the past, but this time it's different. Maybe you've tried therapy before, but it didn't help. Maybe you've never tried therapy before. The point is that you're ready for change. You're ready to do the work. You're ready to open up. You're ready to ask for help.

Hi and welcome! The clients that I help may be starting to undo their inner people-pleasers. They have been taught that they are not enough, or are too much. That their needs somehow don’t matter as much. They get in their own way, don’t live in accordance to their values, and ruminate on every perceived mistake. They worry about being a burden or an inconvenience to others. They have a wounded inner child. Many of my clients are survivors of narcissistic abuse, struggle with addictions or self-harm, and struggle with just being nice to themselves. Sound familiar? You may not see it now, but you are worthy of the life you dream of!

I’m honored to offer a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space for growth/healing & self-exploration. On our life’s path we all have highs and lows. We experience various emotions, some more difficult than others. It can be hard to know what to do with our feelings; how to have them, how to show & share them or simply how to acknowledge them. Emotions can be heavy yet fragile & deserve to be treated with the utmost respect. Using tools & techniques, I help people to observe, describe, experience & participate in the full spectrum of emotions along their life’s path in a non-judgemental way.

My ideal client is someone who is higher functioning and has some self-awareness. My ideal client is between the ages of 25-40, struggling with managing emotional distress, and often has issues with relationships in their lives. My ideal client is in a place where they are ready to do the work, even if it's uncomfortable. Their needs are often centered around building confidence, improving emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and building healthy relationships with themselves and others. My clients desire to obtain peace in their lives, even if that means letting go of what no longer serves them.

For me, there is no one "ideal client" because therapy is about addressing diverse challenges and finding unique solutions. My ideal client's issues might include anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, substance use, life transitions, and a broad range of emotional disorders clients' needs may include but are not limited to problem identification, developing coping strategies, psychoeducation, and awareness of one's thoughts and emotions. My client's goals would center on continuing or returning to normal function with safety as the priority, given that "normal" can and will look different per client.

My ideal client is often a little uncomfortable internally, manifested as anxiety or depression. Often, clients I work best with have a complex childhood that can filter into current relationships. My clients often love objective data (like I do) and will measure key components of their care to understand if they are improving over time.

Having either been through challenges or currently existing in crisis, my clients want to stop merely surviving and instead begin thriving. They see the way things are, and they are no longer satisfied with it. My clients seek understanding, internal peace, and personal growth. They need help clarifying their goals and identifying the methods by which to achieve them. They want to live a life based on their personal values, uninhibited by mental health challenges or relational struggles.

My ideal client would be someone who has not had much success with counseling in the past but is very motivated to participate. I would love to work with a client who has struggled with depression, anxiety, some substance use, and has a history of trauma. I would work to help this client recognize how these issues are connected and perpetuate a cycle. I would also want to help them interrupt that cycle and set boundaries with themselves and in interpersonal relationships. I would work with this client to find healthy hobbies and coping skills while also challenging them.
