About My Clients

I understand that change is difficult and will be patient and supportive as you move through this process. I especially enjoy working with clients who have been previously labeled as “resistant” or “difficult”. I believe that in taking the time to truly know and nurture each client, I can help them to create real change in their lives. If this sounds like you, please reach out so we can start to help you make sense of yourself, heal from your past experiences, and improve your relationships.

My Background and Approach

For the last six years, I worked at a residential treatment center for teenage girls. This strengthened my passion and skill for helping young women navigate the many challenges of adolescence and early adulthood. With a strong focus on kind but direct communication, I also help families improve relationships with one another. Change can be scary, even when it's for the best. For this reason, I believe that good therapy starts with a genuine relationship. I care deeply about my clients and specialize in working with individuals who have had difficulty opening up in the past. As your therapist, I will take the time to get to know you as a person, will work with you to build mutual trust and respect, and will help you create change through balancing support with gentle feedback. Vulnerability is the key to healing: I understand how difficult that can be and am honored to walk beside you on this journey.
