You innocently criticize how your partner loaded the dishwasher; soon you’re both on the kitchen floor on the verge of tears, rehashing an argument for the 12th time this month. You’re constantly sharing your needs but it's like talking to a brick wall. Your partner feels the same, and you don’t understand why you can't "get" each other.  Evenings are spent on opposite ends of the couch staring at your phones, because date night sounds exhausting. You miss feeling in-sync and in love, when the best part of your day was debriefing juicy office drama over a glass of wine. You'd do anything to get back there, but it feels impossible.

I strive to provide a space for my clients to share their authentic selves. Feeling understood and accepted as a whole person is one of the most healing aspects of psychotherapy. Through a collaborative and trusting relationship, I aim to provide holistic care and treatment which is tailored to each individual's needs and goals. I have experience treating clients who have a variety of presenting concerns and diagnoses including: anxiety, depression, bipolar, AD/HD, life transitions, and identity and relationship challenges. My primary goal is to guide you towards your vision of a full and meaningful life!

We all experience life's ups and downs, and yet no one's experience is exactly the same as another's. One size does not fit all. I want to get to know you. I believe that honoring each client's individuality and striving to truly understand each person in their fullest allows us to explore issues, identify possibilities, and formulate solutions that are effective and help move them further along in their life's story. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, or general life stress, I am here to help you get started.
