Chances are, you’re looking for a therapist because you're needing support, wanting solutions, or have been feeling stuck and want to give it a go. Maybe your mind doesn’t always feel like a safe place to be, or your physical body is starting to feel some of the effects of your mental health struggles. Maybe you’re having a hard time understanding your own inner experiences, and whenever you tune in, it’s too overwhelming to manage. I want to let you know, I’ve been there. The human experience can be difficult, and there’s absolutely no shame in seeking help to get through certain periods of life.

I strive to create a space for you that feels warm, empathetic, and validating. When we’re together, you will have my undivided attention as we sit and unpack everything going on. I will see you as a human first, and your problems second. I love to incorporate psycho-education and mindfulness into therapy, so that you are equipped with the skills you need.

I truly believe that you already have the strength inside of you that's needed to overcome your obstacles, and I am the one to help you see that for yourself. If you feel like I may be a good fit for you, reach out for a consultation so we can talk further! Either way, I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

I work with clients who are motivated to make change in their lives but aren't quite sure how. I take time to get to know your background, and then work with you to decide what your goals are. I aim to balance our time between talking and processing events, while also learning skills/information to help you thrive. I always welcome feedback - we are a team. No two clients are alike!
