I offer therapy for people who are seeking growth or change but feel stuck about how to move forward. This may be wanting a deeper connection to yourself and others, difficulties with stress, mood, or emotions, trouble adjusting to a life transition/event, relationship challenges, or identity issues. I value building a trusting therapeutic relationship that inspires openness, curiosity, and vulnerability; a place where lasting change unfolds. I strive to provide an environment in which you can speak your truth and be heard with respect and acceptance. I welcome folks of all genders, sexual orientations, lifestyles, and relationship structures. I see my role as a facilitator to the process of growth by helping remove obstacles and shine light on your blind spots. I view therapy as a puzzle, with therapist and client having some pieces and working together to create a clearer picture of understanding and path forward. My style is collaborative, honest, warm, and holistic while providing compassion, understanding, and practical feedback in a relaxed environment. Having years of experience counseling clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of challenges, I use a variety of modalities in a personalized approach tailored to your specific needs.
