People are so sick of holding their tongue, wearing costumes, and being inauthentic when navigating social relations. To me, therapy is a place to say the thing and acknowledge the parts of us that many won’t see or hear. The freedom that follows from that experience alone can make all the difference. My hope for our therapeutic relationship is to make space for all of that and more.

We all have our secrets, our stories, our pasts. Through therapy, my hope is to help you find a path out of the woods and back into the light. I believe in developing skill sets and finding insight to promote healing from the myriad of difficulties that can be faced throughout one’s life.
