Hello there. Thanks for checking out my profile.

I don't know what brings you to this tiny nook of the internet, on this particular day, but I am grateful and very curious to hear.

As a therapist, I've worked with adolescents and adults for over a decade; sharing in their challenges, connecting in laughter and kindness.

It would be my joy to learn your story and meet you with warmth, humor, and sincerity.

I, truly, believe there is no "one size fits all" to therapy, so I aim to tailor the therapy experience to match each client's individual and unique needs. I collaboratively work with my clients as their co-pilot to help them navigate difficult emotional terrain, while empowering them, the expert of their own emotional landscape, to take the driver's seat because they are the expert of their own lived experiences.
