I currently have limited daytime availability, email preferred when possible . Starting therapy can be intimidating and why it is vital to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe. I view each person or family I work with as individuals and incorporate how relationships and environment impact daily functioning. The priority in treatment is supporting you to increase self-care, self-love, and guide you towards wellness and healing. As a LMFT I have had the opportunity to work with a myriad of mental health needs focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life stage changes, and the LGBT+ community.

I serve a varied population seeking improvement in multiple areas of life. Clients can be as young as three;elders are often 80 yrs+!

(**not taking new clients at present**)

In meeting with folks for therapeutic conversations, I value being present, curious, and caring. I take a de-centered and non-expert stance, creating space for you to develop a sense of agency and support as you face the problems and struggles of life. My hope is to help you feel not-so-alone with problems in life and to give you a space to develop clarity about what is important to you, about what your hopes and values are, and about what steps you would like to take that support your preferred ways of living.
