Great to meet you!

Therapy can be a powerful vehicle for transformation, ultimately about personal growth and self-care. Through compassionate conversation, I guide clients to access their strengths, resources, and wisdom to achieve greater well-being. For the past 15 years, I have worked in outreach, community mental health, school, and private practice settings across the US and internationally.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, a counseling style that supports people to change their behaviors to align with their values and goals and improve overall well-being. I help people learn skills, develop insight, and build confidence to successfully navigate life's challenges and tap into more of life's joy.

What you can expect from me

I have limited spaces in my practice for people with flexible schedules (8 a.m.-4 p.m.). Please reach out to see if working together could benefit you.
