Great to meet you!

As we hit the halfway mark of the year this July, it is time to stop putting your mental health on the back burner. This holiday is the perfect moment to take action. Don’t wait for the new week to start: take control of your mental health and reclaim your peace of mind before the weekend ends by booking an intake appointment for this upcoming week. Whether you are facing a high-conflict divorce, a personal transition, or the crushing weight of burnout, it is exhausting to hold the line at work when your personal life feels like a crisis zone. You are used to managing the storm, but you don't have to manage this alone.

My approach to therapy

I work with honesty, humor, and compassion. Expect validation and direct feedback in a safe space. You are the expert on your life, so bring your lived experiences so we can make the best decisions toward your goals together.

What you can expect from me

Let’s get to know each other, review your history, and identify some goals. Additionally, let’s discuss:

  • What you’d like to feel or experience instead of how things are now
  • What success looks like to you
  • Discuss treatment options, including therapy approaches and/or medication (if applicable)
  • Answer any questions you have about how we’ll work together
