Great to meet you!

I work in a collaborative process with older teens (15yrs old and above), couples, and individual adults who are motivated to find their inner voice and know their highest selves. My clients are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication skills, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of the therapeutic hour, and are receptive to occasional homework. I am here to meet you halfway.

My approach to therapy

I explore how unconscious processes and early life experiences impact our day-to-day lives. We will challenge old habits, build new skills, or simply modify what you are already doing, so that it works better for you. I give you the space to explore what has been hard to say or feel and I offer questions and observations to dig deeper into what you shared. My cat makes occasional cameos.

What you can expect from me

I know it takes a lot to get to a first session. While there are some necessary legal and ethical components that I will cover with you, I am eager to hear about what brought you in and how I can help. As you share your story, I will ask questions to help me get a better understanding of how things fit together. I look forward to meeting you.
