I work in a collaborative process with older teens (15yrs old and above), couples, and individual adults who are motivated to find their inner voice and know their highest selves. My clients are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication skills, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of the therapeutic hour, and are receptive to occasional homework. I am here to meet you halfway.

I have a bachelor's in nutrition and see health and wellbeing through a holistic lens.
Are you anxious, troubled, stuck, weighed down? I believe that you have the inner strength and power to live your best life. But it is hard to be hopeful when you feel trapped by old patterns. That’s where our work together begins. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. My goal is to help you feel better in the present, while finding deeper insight and lasting change for the future. My style is warm, supportive, interactive, and sometimes humorous. I will adapt our work to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation for healing and change.
