I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.

You are likely reading this because you are looking for something in your life to be different. You (or your teen) may be struggling with emotions and moods, anxiety, grief, relationships (with self and others), parenting, communication, school or career. I work with people to identify what is working and what they would like to be different, and then work on the how. It is important to me that you feel seen and heard, and that our work together is of value to you and your life.
When you’re hurting emotionally and struggling to make your way through, talking to a trained professional is important for your health. Every day, I strive to bring tangible, positive change to my clients’ lives. My highest objective is to truly “get” you, understanding your complexities and nuances. I offer grounded, goal-centered counseling based on my respect for you, your uniqueness, and your capacity to grow and heal. Together, we will identify what changes you would like to make within yourself; then, we’ll work to transform pain to strength, challenge to wisdom, isolation to connection, and turbulence to peace.
