My communication style

Clients describe warmth, compassion, and understanding that allows us to co-create emotional and physical safety. This allows us to authentically engage in honesty and intimacy, giving words and meaning to our emotions, thoughts, and experiences. It is a curious, non-judgmental space with boundaries and safety.

My journey to mental healthcare

A therapist urged me to take the wisdom learned throughout my life and the compassion and understanding that came from hard work in therapy, and help others unpack their invisible suitcases. I'm a seasoned guide to help others find their way back into the sun.

My goals for you

I view therapy as an opportunity to gain awareness of how past experiences impact self-perception and interactions with the world. My goal is to help you comprehend how adversity shapes behavior and find healthier ways of being. Let's co-create a space of openness and honesty as we build a life that serves you best.

Our first session

A comfortable, non-judgmental space to walk through some of our preconceived notions about therapy, find our voice, and be seen as we haven't fully been. The beginning of a process, self-paced, toward trust and authenticity, one conversation at a time.
