As a licensed psychotherapist with over ten years of experience in many settings ranging from community mental health agencies, non profits, private practice, the school system and teletherapy work I have had the privilege of working with people from many walks of life. I have been lucky enough to bare witness to just how strong, resilient and capable most humans when they have the right supports.

I know just how hard taking the first step or deciding to give therapy another chance can be and I welcome you.
