About My Clients

The clients I work with are driven, creative, and intelligent, but feel like they can’t seem to figure this feelings thing out on their own. They are young adults who come from a wide array of life experience, but all joined me when they were ready to ask the bold question: What if it didn’t have to be this way?

My Background and Approach

To me, therapy is all about curiosity and kindness. Whether we’re talking about life-interrupting anxiety, patterns in eating disorders, mind-spinning negative self-talk, or life stressors you no longer want to just push down deep inside, I’m here for the journey. With that curiosity and kindness I love getting to hold both the beauty and pain of life with someone until they are ready to hold it all on their own. And with that, getting to encourage them as they move towards their feelings, work through their pain, and emerge into life that is full, embodied, and reawakened.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone, no matter there size or shape or gender or sexuality or quirkiness, has the beautiful opportunity to grow and heal and belong to themselves.
