About
"I’m here to help you work through this beautifully messy life, and get beyond the hard stuff to your unique version of your best self."
Why I became a therapist
From an early age, I knew I wanted to spend my life helping people, and for 15+ years that was my focus working in the nonprofit world. The transition to becoming a therapist was sparked by the need I saw on both a professional and personal level to invest in mental health and wellness. My goal is to help people work through their challenges so that they can live their most fulfilling, authentic lives. Whether you are navigating relationships, experiencing grief and loss, making big life changes, or making your way through past trauma, I am here to provide a safe place and an encouraging ear.
Who I work with
I am interested in working with individuals and couples experiencing infertility and all of the uncertainty, frustration, and pain that can come with that journey. I am also interested in working with adults navigating life transitions, religious trauma, grief, and the general heaviness of life. I practice from an affirming perspective, and welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities.
"Every person’s story is different, and as your therapist, my goal is to meet you where you are and provide the tools and support you need to live your best story"
Working With Me
Working with me means entering a warm, empathetic space filled with encouragement and understanding, where we'll build a strong, trusting relationship. Here, you can truly be yourself, knowing that we’ll navigate every challenge together with care and collaboration. I utilize a strengths-based approach to therapy, encouraging you to share your story and find the power and meaning within it. I also believe humor can be healing.
