Great to meet you!

I work with adults ages 20's to 50's who are looking for support with gaining insight and clarity on what the issue is, where it came from and what to do about it.

People often come to me describing feeling depressed, anxious, struggling in their relationships, having difficulty managing emotions, and experiencing general dissatisfaction with life - despite things usually looking out from the outside.

Most of my clients crave meaning, purpose and more freedom. They've been through some major challenges in life and wonder if the past is getting in the way of what they want in the present and future.

My approach to therapy

I am interactive, ask a lot of questions, give feedback, and provide education, while being warm, patient and relatable. I will take the time to get to know you, understand your patterns, and we'll work together to chart a new path forward.

I take an integrative approach to therapy and will take a slightly different approach depending on my client's needs. I am always guided by curiosity and prioritize collaboration.

What you can expect from me

In our first session we will talk about your goals and needs in therapy, and then start to dive in to some of your history. I will guide the session, pause to make time for questions, and otherwise we'll go at a pace that works for you.
