What it’s like working with me:

I believe therapy is a place where you should be able to show up exactly as you are. My intention is to create a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space where you feel heard and seen. I approach therapy collaboratively, meaning we work together to understand what you’re experiencing and figure out what feels most helpful for you. I want our work together to feel productive and meaningful, but also like a space where you can be completely human and come as you are. 

I’m especially interested in helping clients navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, identity, and the challenges that come with growing and changing. My approach is compassionate, curious, and flexible. I believe that our relationships and experiences can have a huge impact on how we see ourselves, and I value supporting my clients in making sense of those connections. Raised locally, I have a personal connection to the area and deep understanding of the community which I truly value. 

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you’re struggling with something specific or simply feel stuck and aren’t sure where to begin, we can start there together.
