It is natural to have moments in life when you feel depressed or anxious, and especially if you are in a certain stage of life which requires more support, or if life simply threw you a curve ball. Everyone needs to be able to set aside time for themselves, process through their experiences, and then work towards identifying what they need and how to get there. I provide a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental space in which to do that work, collaboratively and creatively. I want to empower you and to help you feel like, "I've got this. I can get through it." Because you can.

It takes a lot of courage to seek help, especially in a world that unfairly stigmatizes getting psychological services. Lack of understanding of what therapy is and how people can benefit from it prevents some from using professional services to know and understand themselves better, to improve relationships, and to live more meaningful, fulfilling lives regardless of their challenges. Sometimes people have troubling symptoms due to anxiety, depression, and other disorders and need help to address these symptoms and their causes. I use a variety of approaches to help clients. My goal is to empower clients through a healthy, therapeutic relationship.
