Great to meet you!

I applaud you for taking the first step of seeking support. Investing in your mental health is important and I'm glad it brought you here. Whether you’re navigating emotionally challenging relationships, a significant life transition, or experiencing feelings of anxiety, grief, and overwhelmed. You are welcome here and I am here to help you.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist for over 20 years, I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be honest about your experiences without fear of judgment. In sessions, we'll work through your challenges with care and curiosity (all at a pace that feels right for you). I also recognize how important your faith, cultural values, and other parts of your identity may be. And I’m happy to incorporate them into our work when it's meaningful to you.

What you can expect from me

As we first meet, I hope you know that there’s no pressure to have everything figured out or to share anything you’re not ready to share. My goal is that you feel heard, respected and hopeful about the work we can do together. Most importantly, you can expect a warm, judgment-free space where you can simply be yourself.
