Life transitions can quietly (or not so quietly) stir up anxiety, sadness, or a feeling of being stuck. When those feelings linger, it can feel heavy and isolating. You don't have to carry that on your own.

A decision to begin therapy is not always easy, but it can be a decision that is life changing. Benefits of psychotherapy include greater self-awareness, decreased emotional distress, better problem solving skills, and healthier more fulfilling relationships. I ensure a safe space, and will build a trusting relationship that is open and nonjudgmental to work collaboratively with you on achieving your personal goals.


Whether you are returning to therapy, or beginning for the first time, sometimes taking the initial step to reach out can feel daunting. Feel free to email me with any questions or inquiries.


I also offer video/remote teletherapy sessions for those who need more flexible scheduling.
