I work with individuals and couples who are open, introspective, and ready to experience a stronger sense of closeness and connection in their most meaningful relationships. I often help those struggling with a general sense of relationship dissatisfaction, tension between them and their partner, or feelings of isolation from themselves, their loved ones, or both. When these struggles feel overwhelming, I know how important it is to have a space in which all parts of you are fully seen and honored, and in which you feel as if you are growing into your truest, most authentic self.

I am passionate about working with young adults, couples, pre-marital counseling, and LGBTQIA+ populations. Each and every one of my clients is a unique person coming in with unique experiences and challenges, meaning they require a unique approach that best fits their goals. The therapeutic relationship between a client and therapist is one of the most important factors to client success. This is why I value building trust and confidence with my clients in the beginning of therapy.

I’m comfortable working with clients across the lifespan, but I work best with those who have historically felt misunderstood and unheard, and even those that are distrustful of the therapy process. With that in mind, my goal is to make each client feel special and empowered during and after their time with me. I enjoy talking about “hard things” or even “taboo” things, and encourage my clients to use their time with me in whatever way they need. I don’t believe that progress is linear and I am interested in meeting my client where they are with their goals even if the starting point is simply making an appointment and showing up.
