About me

For 11 years, I have sat with people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, from medical crises to the quieter weight of anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship strain. I bring a collaborative, nonjudgmental presence because the best work happens when you feel genuinely heard. If you are ready to start and want change. I would love to meet you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will spend most of our time talking through what brought you here and what you are hoping to change. I will ask about your background, intake process, and what has and has not worked for you before. You do not need to have everything figured out before we meet. Most clients leave that first appointment feeling relieved that they finally said it out loud.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I want to engage clients in the helping process and improve outcomes.
