Great to meet you!

Hello, have you been feeling stuck and unable to see a path out of the place you have found yourself? I can help you with that. I create authentic relationship that will allow us to partner in your care. I can help you process emotions, set boundaries, and find positive ways to feel good about yourself. I provide a safe space for clients to share their concerns and feel confident they are talking to someone who can help them begin the process of healing. You can't do therapy wrong.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am a supporter of women and the Queer community. I want you to know I support you just the way you are and will provide a safe space for you to grow into the person you want to be. I am comfortable talking about sexuality and issues of identity. I have a special interest in working with trans people and I am open to helping people transition into who they want to be. Also, I can help you hold your grief. I am compassionate and can understand those who are grieving.

What you can expect from our first session

Whether you're dealing with stress, facing a life transition, or simply need someone to talk to, I'm here to provide consistent support and reassurance. We are going to get through this together.

I want clients to feel more than tolerated. My goal is for clients to feel welcomed, whole, complete and safe just as they are.
