Sometimes getting started and making an initial therapy appointment can be the hardest part. I know it takes courage and vulnerability to begin the healing journey. Therefore, I strive to create a strong therapeutic foundation as we begin working together to help you ease into the therapy process. From there, we will identify and work toward your desired treatment goals. My approach is warm and supportive, yet challenging to help facilitate insight, growth, and healing.

Do you feel stuck, disconnected, lost, or not like yourself? Our ever-changing world is full of stressors and challenges and many of us don't feel like we have the support we need to face them. Through therapy, you can receive that support in a non-judgmental, affirming space. In our work together, I see us as a team collaborating to identify patterns, where they came from, and how we can adjust them to help you create the life you want to live. The therapeutic relationship can be transformative, and my hope is that ours will empower and challenge you to be your whole, authentic self and blossom into the you you want to be.
