I believe that we have the capacity to grow, to heal, and to experience joy. I work with clients facing depression, anxiety, grief, and life stressors such as parenting, life transitions, and career changes. I also work with clients who need someone to listen and offer insights as they grapple with existential life questions. I support those living with ADHD and the people who love them. Working with a therapist can help. I am here to listen. I use person-centered, collaborative, and strengths-based approaches to help you achieve your wellness goals.
I welcome clients from many cultural, religious, linguistic, and geographic backgrounds. And I bring unique insights on what it means to change your mind, to try something new, and to start over.
I would love the opportunity to journey with you.
