It is my great honor and privilege to sit with people in their most difficult moments and earn the role of a trusted ally. I strive to give every client the experience of feeling seen, heard, valued, accepted.

You matter here.

Therapy with me is a process of understanding yourself - noticing your patterns and getting clear on the subtext, or what’s under the surface that drives your relationship to yourself, others, and the world. Together we will work to understand what you have learned in your life, how you have made meaning of your experiences and your place in the world and in relationship to other people, the strategies you have adapted as a result, and where that learning is outdated, in need of an update. My role is part guide, part co-investigator, part vision holder.
