As your therapist, I want to welcome you to our therapy space. I strive

to provide you with a safe and compassionate environment where you

can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

Together, we will work towards fostering a deeper sense of self. We will

focus on key components like self-kindness, common humanity, and

mindfulness. I believe in the value of shared human experiences.

Therapeutic interventions may include and are not limited to guided

meditation, cognitive reframing, and other creative expressive

therapies. We will explore your experiences with warmth and empathy,

fostering a deeper connection to your inner wisdom and resilience.

I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.
