Great to meet you!

Many people reach out for counseling when life feels heavier than usual—when relationships are strained, emotions feel harder to manage, or when they feel overwhelmed with grief. for more than a decade, I have been helping families and individuals of all ages to cope, process and navigate around these issues. My goal is to offer a space where you do not have to hold all of that alone.

My approach to therapy

I believe that everyone has a story to tell. My approach in therapy is to speak less and listen more. This allows me to better understand where you are coming from, in order to put you back on the driver's seat and at the CENTER of your story.

What you can expect from me

The first session is a chance for us to slow things down and begin with where you are right now. Please know that this a non-judgement zone! You do not need to have everything figured out before you come in.

We will keep it simple and talk about 3 things: 1) What has been weighing on you.

2) What you would like help with, and

3) What results you expect to get out of our sessions together.
