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.

After an initial phone consultation, you'll be directed to the client portal where you'll complete an intake packet, which includes an intake interview, therapeutic assessments, demographic information, payment information, and consent forms.
During our first 4 to 6 sessions, we'll dig deeper into what's bringing you to therapy at this time, explore your relevant history (such as family, social, academic, occupational), and develop goals for our work together.
If you're new to therapy, welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Pursuing therapy is an act of love: for your future self; for your relationships; and for your life's unfolding. If you're returning to therapy, I hope your past experience was enriching and supportive; I look forward to joining you on this next phase of your journey.
