Life isn't 'one size fits all' so why should therapy be? As a psychotherapist with over 12 years experience in the mental health field, I understand that every individual I meet is unique and that people most often thrive when we create a therapeutic environment that honors this uniqueness. As your therapist, I aim to support you on your path forward by meeting you exactly where you are each session, and implementing intentional, individualized combinations of therapeutic strategies, tools, and skills to address your needs, wants, and goals. Guidance, motivation, exploration, insight, understanding, healing...whatever it is you seek from therapy, I can help! I am incredibly passionate about the work I do, and am honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
