I have decades of experience motivating creative people to chase their dreams--writers, artists, artisans, tradespeople, farmers, and philosophers, I'm here for you! I'm a neurodivergent provider, and enjoy working with ADHD and autistic clients.

As a narrative therapist (and a retired college writing instructor) I see people writing their stories with each passing moment--each thought, each word, and each action. I want to help clients realize authorship of their lives.

We build with what we have. I have been trained to meet clients where they are in their lives, to help them call on their strengths, and to support them as they work towards positive changes and work through life events. I strive to create a therapeutic space free of judgement and full of respect. Everyone's story is painful--and beautiful.

I'm not the right fit for someone seeking manualized therapy. I borrow freely from therapies like CBT and DBT, but at heart I'm a humanistic therapist. I strive to be truly client-centered; you're going to decide what we talk about and when. I'm not afraid to challenge a client when they need to be challenged, but my focus is always on you and what YOU want to get out of therapy.
