Great to meet you!

Taking a step forward in finding a therapy provider who is a good fit can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Clients often tell me they feel welcomed, supported and I am easy to talk with from the first session forward. The vibe in my office is relaxed and supports a feeling of calmness. I bring a witty sense of humor and hope you will too! Clients new to therapy and those returning for a tune-up are all welcome.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative. My inclusive, welcoming and warm style helps set the tone for us to work together. We will work as a team to address the areas of life that are challenging you right now. Usually folks feel they would benefit from therapy support because they don't feel like their best selves. Maybe you're not showing up as the person you know yourself to be, are overwhelmed by stress from relationships, have job worries, in a role transition, experienced a loss, or a combination of things. I'm here to support you.

What you can expect from me

From the first session, I focus on your needs and challenges to create a unique plan just for you. I listen in a non-judgmental manner. I don't see therapy as a forever journey. Often making small steps and changes can have lasting results. Brief 15-20 minute phone consultations are possible. Please reach out if you'd like to schedule a time to connect to see if we'd be a good fit.

Don't hesitate to message about other days and times for available appointments than what is seen on my calendar! Other spots are available.
