Develop insight, skill, depth and growth.

I believe in the enriching and transformative power of an authentically validating therapeutic relationship, one that is secure and trusting. My sincere goal is to create a connection with you that is collaborative, accepting, exploratory, honest and safe. Therapy has the ability to awaken us to be fully present in life. It helps us to know our stories, our patterns, our desires, our full and whole selves more deeply. This awareness inspires and creates growth, healing and change.

I practice an integrated model of therapy, informed by psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, emotion-focused work and third-wave cognitive behavioral approaches.

I have experience working with folks addressing sexuality, isolation, grief, anger, depression and anxiety.

If you want to engage in empathetic therapy that is unique to your curiosities, questions and goals, please contact me. I welcome you to reach out with any questions. I work with individuals wanting to meet via tele-health.

Be well,
