Being a therapist has taught me that we each strive toward love, growth, and purpose. We long to matter to those around us, to give and receive affection, to become better versions of ourselves. And to do so, we have to dig deep.
I view therapy as an active partnership in which your needs and preferences lead the way. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, I empathize and encourage and invite you to come as you are. I will always ask how you’re doing, how you’re really doing, and sit with you as you find your voice.
When you encounter your should've-been-, could've-been-, and what-if-selves, I'll anchor you back in the present where we can focus on what needs healing. As our work progresses, we'll examine the thoughts and behaviors that add to your difficulties. By shifting your thinking and response patterns, you'll form healthier ways of having your needs met.

If you're new to therapy, welcome. Reaching out for support is a brave step, and I feel honored to be part of that process with you. If you're returning to therapy, welcome back. I know beginning again can bring up many different feelings, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to support you in this season of your life.
After our initial phone consultation, I’ll invite you to the client portal to complete an intake packet. This includes an intake interview, therapeutic assessments, demographic information, payment information, and consent forms so I can begin to understand you and your needs more fully.
During our first 4 to 6 sessions, we’ll take time to explore what’s bringing you to therapy. I’ll get to know more about your family, relationships, work or school experiences, and the parts of your story that feel important, so we can begin developing goals together.
