Great to meet you!

I will be your biggest and loudest supporter and advocate. I use a little bit of humor, mixed in with kindness, and a whole lot of warmth to help you dig deep into your story. Together, we'll challenge the stories you tell yourself about your life, your experience, and society. I have extensive experience working with folks experiencing anxiety/depression, work burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and folks exploring their identity (all identities are absolutely welcomed here!)

My approach to therapy

I’ll ask you to dig deep, to question long-standing assumptions about yourself, your experience, and society. I walk alongside you, asking you to clear out old ideas and experiences so you can make room for new ones.

Together, we will explore life balance, using the therapeutic relationship to empower you, and help you define your future. Our time together will help gain insight into your patterns, beliefs, and blind spots.

What you can expect from me

Each day, all of us navigate the intersection of gender, ethnicity, culture, class, sexuality, spirituality, ability...how we show up physically, mentally, and emotionally is influenced by all these things, and it can be overwhelming. The gift of therapy is taking the time to think about and look at these things in a safe, brave, and supportive environment. Taking the initial step of simply acknowledging that there is something in us that needs deeper time and attention is a good place to start.
