My belief in human resilience guides my work, and I hold deep trust in each persons path towards a full life. Together we can examine painful experiences, old belief systems, and barriers that may be keeping you stuck while honing in on your unique strengths. Therapy work encourages deepened self-awareness and compassion, allowing you to embrace a greater sense of agency, and find more joy in your day to day life. My hope is that our work inspires you to create space for the life and relationships you have been striving for.
I approach my practice with warmth, authenticity, and respect. My work centers relational, depth oriented, and trauma informed modalities. I work with children, teens, and adult individuals as well as couples. I listen deeply, offering insight and support as we explore your inner world.
I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most valuable tool in therapy, and I encourage you to find the right fit for you. I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation to learn more about how I practice, and see if I may be able to support you.
