I believe that the most important aspect of a successful therapy experience is a strong, authentic relationship with your therapist, which is why I emphasize developing trust and respect in order to create a comfortable, supportive space for you to work towards personal growth and a happier, more satisfying life.
Life tends to throw us curve balls. With all of our energy spent juggling obligations, responsibilities, and managing daily stresses, it's easy to wake up one day and realize that you just feel "stuck." Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, but it's the first step towards regaining control of your life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship difficulties, or just want a different perspective on whatever is holding you back, I'm here to help you navigate and overcome these challenges. Every person's situation is unique. I do not treat the therapeutic process as "one-size-fits all."

Our mental health doesn't exist in a bubble: we are all deeply impacted by our increasingly turbulent world of systemic injustice, political instability and climate change. This turbulence is exacerbated if we're also struggling with depression, anxiety, developmental trauma, substance use, relationship challenges or life transitions. My approach to therapy meets at the intersection of your inner and outer worlds. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, we will work together to understand the root causes of your symptoms so that we can co-create an actionable path towards healing and a living a more meaningful day-to-day life.
