Welcome!

Being in the LGBT community myself, some of my clients value having a therapist that can connect with that experience. In my therapy space, I value authenticity, safety, freedom to choose, connection to others as well as ourselves, & being challenged. My clients want a s...

The people that come to see me are used to being able to handle anything life throws at them. They are high achieving and successful at school and work. Other people have high expectations of them that they can usually meet. But, at some point, they begin to feel that perfectionism and the pace of life has worn them out. Something has changed and the ways they’ve coped in the past aren’t as effective as before. If you're thinking about starting therapy, you may be feeling the same way. Y...

This process of being and becoming that we engage with as humans can simultaneously be both beautiful and incredibly challenging. The decision to take part in therapy can begin a transformative process that allows you to develop greater insight as well as ignite necessary behavioral changes. This can help promote greater well-being, vitality, healing, growth, resiliency, and self-actualization. There is perhaps no greater gift to give yourself than to invest in a process of self-exploration. Suc...

Let’s face it - life can be challenging. Between work, family, health, and hobbies we’re pulled in many different directions and have plenty to worry about.
