About My Clients

Whether you're navigating relationship stress, trying to break patterns that keep holding you back, or simply ready to invest in yourself, therapy can be a space where your strengths become your foundation. I am passionate about creating a safe space for you to focus on yourself and the goals we create together. Wherever you are in your journey is a good place for us to begin working on your mental health goals one step at a time.

My Background and Approach

In our first meeting, we will begin with an assessment of your priorities and collaborate on setting goals together. I support clients navigating Depression, Anxiety, trauma, relationships, and identity. Throughout our time together, we will explore how your daily habits can more closely align with your personal values to decrease your stress and increase your confidence in handling difficult situations with more self-compassion. Searching for a new therapist can be daunting and you've already taken a meaningful first step by being here. I offer free 15 minute phone consultations so we can see if we're a good fit before you commit.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Everyone has inherent value and strengths, though systematic barriers biases can unjustly block people from living authentically and safely. I enjoy partnering with clients to take control of their journey and develop tools to more easily align their daily life with their personal values.
