I strongly believe that we have a relationship with ourselves in the same way we do with anyone else! My focus is on helping you build (or rebuild) trust in yourself, find kindness toward yourself, and hold yourself accountable in a way that’s based in self-respect rather than shame. I strive to create a space that is safe and supportive where you can explore both the light and the heavy aspects of your experience. I enjoy explaining and exploring the why  — why we do the things we do and why try something different.

I primarily work with individuals struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, grief and trauma. I enjoy working with those who are ready and willing to engage in therapy, even if they are unsure where to start. I value creating space to process your emotions and experiences while also helping you find practical tools that fit you and your life.

I believe therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative — you bring your lived experience, and I will provide my training and perspective. I believe you have the right and capacity to create your path, and I'm here to help you build that foundation, wherever you're starting from.
