Do you feel like your relationships are not meeting your needs? Worry about being worthy of love and care? Feel like you need to keep up a façade to be accepted? Do you find yourself feeling pulled to meet others expectations of you? Many high-achievers can feel they have to wear a mask to get the support and connection they’re looking for.

If you're hoping to learn about yourself, increase confidence, and build meaningful relationships, you're in the right place.

I feel that all clients have a choice in their treatment and should have access to an array of techniques to address their needs.

I also believe in the importance of taking care of your physical health in conjunction with mental health. I help to identify triggers to symptoms as well as creating healthier coping strategies and boundaries.

“Why Now”? and “What has happened”? are the ways my first session begins with a new patient. This patient is ready to begin their story.
