“Taking the step to begin therapy can be difficult and requires courage and vulnerability. Therapy usually brings us out of our comfort zone and challenges us to face ourselves. However, the more we learn about ourselves, the more empowered we become toward meaningful change and personal growth.

I strongly believe individuals should play an active role in their own therapeutic journey, and through these lenses, our time together will focus on working collaboratively. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental, and individualized, in that each person is unique and has their own strengths and challenges. I value the complexities of the human condition. Educating myself constantly on issues outside of my own personal experience is a significant part of my role as a therapist.

While I enjoy working with all individuals, I have a special interest in working with those experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, gender issues, and quarter-life crises. Change can feel uncomfortable and at times, intimidating. While working with you, I will strive to create an environment where you feel heard, motivated, and safe to explore and discover new depths of your emotional world.”
