I believe that understanding your own story is one of the bravest, most courageous things you can do. Everyone has their unique journey and story to tell, but how we deal with certain roadblocks is not always as straightforward.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and later decide the most appropriate ways to help you ma...

Beginning therapy can feel like an intimidating experience. We have this idea of an unknown place where a stranger makes us open up about some of our deepest innermost thoughts… and then what happens? I get it. I’ve had those same thoughts about beginning therapy. But, what if I told you therapy doesn’t have to be hard or intimidating? I believe therapy should be rewarding and even fun (for real)! As your therapist, I will support you as we uncover what it means to have a life worth living and f...
