Do you find yourself ruminating about certain things? Are you unable to fall asleep at night because your mind keeps racing? Are there things you want to get off your chest but feel like nobody will understand? One way or another, you’re here because you want to feel better. You want to live your life to the fullest yet can’t quite seem to figure out how. This is where our work comes in.

The goal of therapy is not only to bring relief to immediate distress, but to gain an understanding of how early experiences shape who you are today and what you can do to change your behaviors. Much of this is done through the therapeutic relationship and having a space to process, heal from, and work through psychological pain.
When working with me, you will find that I am warm, approachable, and attentive. I am here to listen carefully to your story and, at the same time, challenge you to consider new perspectives and offer you insight. If this approach resonates with you, please do not hesitate to reach out.
