Contemplating therapy is a courageous first step and I admire your decision to seek help. Perhaps you have been overworked, feeling stressed, worried, and struggling to keep it all together. I provide an environment that is non-judgmental.
Focus on health, healing, and well-being. We will work together to realign your priorities, find balance in your life, and optimize your functioning in all the roles you have in life (professional, parent, spouse, colleague, friend, leader, etc).

My goal is to provide a safe, authentic, and collaborative space for you to better understand yourself and your goals, determine what is working for you and what may not be, and for you to feel emboldened to approach life in new and meaningful ways!

The relationship between therapist & client is a key ingredient for positive & lasting change. I incorporate both action-oriented strategies & supportive, exploratory approaches to help you improve relationships & strengthen emotional wellbeing.
I hope to utilize a supportive and trusting therapeutic relationship to assist clients in becoming aware and accepting of their experiences, and identifying their values and committing to acting in ways that lead them to live a meaningful life.
