Great to meet you!

As a therapist, I work hard to create a safe, non-judgmental place for people to honestly examine their problems and develop the skills and behaviors that help them move forward with their lives. My approach is one of respect and warmth, and attention to the dignity of every person. Many of my clients have gone through traumatic or disorienting experiences, and struggle with depression, anxiety, or other debilitating emotional problems.

My approach to therapy

I work to provide privacy and tranquility for my clients. Too often, we feel alone; and that our voices are not heard. I am here to guide you on your journey. You are not alone. My goal is to create a safe & welcoming space where you feel comfortable as the expert of your life & share what has been heavy on your mind & spirit.

What you can expect from me

I am trained in a variety of approaches, but I find the most important element in therapy is my relationship with my clients. I will take the time to get to know you and what is bringing you to therapy. Together, we will identify specific goals you want to reach. I'll be there to provide support and accountability along the way.

I want to affirm you in taking this important step of healing.
