Great to meet you!

I appreciate that you’ve taken the first steps towards finding the right therapist for you. I value the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a space where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. You are not alone and with gentle guidance and reflection you will find acceptance and create a life where you feel in control of your emotions. I tailor our time together to meet your needs and draw from a variety of client centered approaches to help you navigate your own life and challenges. I use compassion, insight, and humor to create engaging and interactive sessions for you to see the progress you want to make.

I enjoy helping many types of clients in different phases of life. As a parent myself, I especially enjoy working with other parents. Parents find my approach to be relatable and my background in child development helps them understand their child more clearly. As former medical professional, I often work with individuals in medical fields who are experiencing burnout or other stressors from a demanding profession. I also see clients with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Clients find me when they are experiencing grief.

Whether this is your first time working with therapist or you are returning to therapy and looking for the right fit, I am excited to speak with you. I offer a complimentary consultation to learn more about you and for you to learn more about my approach. I look forward to hearing from you!

My approach to therapy

I meet with clients weekly and we focus on your most important needs and goals. Our therapy will feel like a safe conversation where you feel emotionally held and supported. l approachable and relatable you are the expert in your life. You will find I use both humor and compassion during our sessions.

What you can expect from me

The world can feel chaotic these days. My goal is to help bring you some peace and a safe space to decompress. You are not alone! After working together you will gain clarity on your own priorities and feel supported.
