My clients often start therapy feeling anxious, self-critical, and disconnected from themselves.

We can work towards shifting any patterns that are no longer helping you and will tailor our approach to your specific needs. We can discuss your past, present, and future. I bring a sense of curiosity, warmth, and humor to my work and invite you to bring your authentic self to the room as well.

As adults, we can carry many layers of stress. Stress that can take a toll on our mental and physical wellbeing, creating tension in our personal and professional experiences, and negatively impacting our quality of life.
