bring our unique skills and talents to therapy: you are the expert on you, and I have expertise on helping people navigate life effectively. I believe most humans yearn for connection and to be truly known and accepted for who they are.

I work to provide a safe space for you to process, share your story, and get support to better understand yourself and your wants/needs. This can be a scary or intimidating first step, but it is one that will help bring the change you desire in life.
