About Me
Hi there!
I believe therapy requires a combination of humor, challenge, compassion, and stability.
I want clients to experience therapy with safety and healing. Together, we will work to increase personal insight, restore balance, improve relationships, and increase motivation. I hope to create an environment where clients feel known and understood. I believe all people are worthy of love and care regardless of where you come from. I hope all people feel like they can be their full, authentic selves with me.
I work with individual adults, couples, families, and adolescents. I recognize every individual is influenced by their family system. I am passionate about assisting couples and family members to thrive in their environment.
More about me.
If you’re looking for a 'yes person' or a therapist that just allows you to vent for 50 minutes, once a week... I’m not your girl! I’m committed to your commitment, so I’m going to make sure you get the most out of our time together. The work that I do allows me to champion your smallest and biggest moments of change. I will try to challenge you, along with being your biggest cheerleader! It is all about balance!
My work as a therapist is deeply grounded in offering an experience that allows you to feel empowered, safe, and comfortable. I have a particular interest in helping people navigate issues, such as, low self-worth, relationship stuck points, self-esteem concerns, grief, infidelity, anxiety, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, depression, and other emotional concerns.
In my practice, I utilize therapy models that focus directly on emotions and reconnection. I want to help you re-establish healthy roles, develop secure attachments, strengthen boundaries, and build emotional and compassionate connections.
“You don’t have to be fearless. Doing it afraid is just as brave.”
— Morgan Harper Nichols
I remember feeling incredibly vulnerable when I reached out for support through therapy. I was worried about “getting it right” or thinking “my problems are not big enough to go to therapy.” Any problem is “big” enough to go see a therapist. I felt so empowered and relieved at the end of my first appointment. It was a gift that I didn't know I needed. My feelings mattered, and my pain was seen. I continue to go to therapy because I feel empowered to be authentically myself.
Do therapists go to therapy?
