I believe therapy can be a safe and vulnerable place for both depth and lightness. A space for clients to feel seen, heard, and less alone in all they are carrying and doing in their one, important life. Clients notice my non-judgemental presence, and that they are treated with genuine respect and loving kindness. In addition, my commitment to evidence-based practices, ethical and practice standards, ongoing training and reflection, helps me to stay curious, connected, and grounded.

If you're scrolling, scrolling, and hoping for a connection with someone here... it makes sense. It shouldn’t be natural that we divulge our deepest heartache to a total stranger. We can all hear a version of that echo "don't talk to strangers!" Right?! Research supports that the experience of safety and connectedness is primary to therapy success. This is my priority in therapy. After this, I operate from these assumptions: 1. Everything is “figure-out-able”. 2. You have within you the wisdom you need to reach the goals you desire. I’m here to help you find it. 3. Together, we decide where you want to head.

You don’t know when things changed, when life became harder, but you know that things aren’t working. Maybe you aren’t sleeping well. Maybe it is exhausting to complete work, assignments, or sometimes even starting your day. Maybe you feel disconnected from your family and friends. You do know that you need things to change but aren’t sure where to start.
