About My Clients

Going through emotional distress, facing the difficulties and pains of depression, stress, anxiety or grief, can take a toll on our mental and physical health. There are so many potential reasons leading us to embark on a therapeutic journey. Maybe something is going on in your life and your current behavioral patterns and coping strategies to manage challenges aren't working any longer. I will work with you in discovering new ways toward a more fulfilling life, one with meaning and purpose.

My Background and Approach

As your therapist I will join you in uncovering obstacles or patterns to help you get to the root of the issues you are facing. This leads to greater insight for you and your relationships and creates a deeper understanding of how your past is intertwined with the present. My treatment style is non-judgmental, warm, and authentic. I have experience treating teenagers, college students, and adults from diverse backgrounds and identities. I am committed to helping you meet your needs, realize change, and reach your potential all while bringing curiosity, humor, and creativity into our space.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am an inclusive therapist offering a safe, caring, professional and therapeutic environment in which we can co-create a relationship essential for your healing and growth. I look to understand the person I sit with and how their life has impacted them. I believe you are the best expert on yourself, and I strive to provide insight as we explore your concerns and determine how best to help you work with them and experience positive change.
