Most people who seek counseling do so because something in their life is not quite right. Maybe you have already identified what is off in your life – depression, anxiety, a toxic relationship, a past trauma, a painful life transition. Maybe you are the family member or friend that people generally rely on; you give to others freely but sometimes feel as though you are running on “low” and have few places or people to turn to for your own needs. Or perhaps you just know that something is off, that you could be happier or more fulfilled than you are currently.

I have worked with teens, individual adults, and couples for the past decade, and it's my heart's work to help each of my clients be their best selves. I provide my clients with a safe space to share their experiences, fears, and dreams as we build trust together. Then we experiment with new solutions, new perspectives, new tools, and new ways of being.
I offer free initial phone consultations so we can discern if I'm a good fit for you. Many of my clients describe me as warm, compassionate, encouraging, and down-to-earth, someone they can both laugh and cry with. EMDR in particular has been an absolute game-changer for many of my clients. I look forward to meeting you and doing good work together!
