Therapy with me should feel like showing up to your favorite room in your house where you can be, explore and connect with yourself. There will be days you may not like being in this “room,” but you know going back in for the next session will be helpful. My role is to hold this space for you through accountability and questioning, but to otherwise nearly disappear while we are together, allowing you to focus on you and your experiences while deepening your connection with yourself.

If I have done my job well, at the end of our time together you might feel sad, but you will definitely be ready to move on to the next chapter of your life with more clarity, greater self-esteem, less anxiety, and more tools and options to accommodate the next inevitable challenge that arises.

I am already your biggest fan. I can’t wait to celebrate your wins, sit with you through the hard moments, and gently challenge you when I notice you’re getting in your own way or drifting from the life you want to create.

I have experience with kids, adolescents, families, blended families, divorced families, couples, veterans, mandated clients, groups. I have a broad understanding of human behavior through a developmental lens and have probably experienced something more shocking in session than you are about to tell me.

I genuinely love my job. I would enjoy nothing more than the chance to get to know you to help the shift of your story.
