Therapy is a collaborative process. I may have experience and training to help guide you, however you are the expert on you by bringing your knowledge, experience and hard-work into the equation. Change does not happen without both parts.

start where you are and we will work to move past the obstacles that make life difficult. We will work together to get you to the authentic life you want through learning new skills, creating new habits, and letting go of the unhelpful past.

I am a compassionate, nonjudgmental listener who supports and guides you in finding your answers in a safe and caring space.

have experienced traumas or negative life events. I find that people who have these experiences often struggle with trust and intimacy (physical, emotional, and sexual). All of these aspects of life can be rebuilt and healed.

it was the natural progression of my career focusing on helping. I started as a vocational coach, then a special ed teacher, and now therapist.

I am an unabashed sci-fi geek and love to integrate things that you are passionate about into our work together. Cultivating the joys in life is as much of our work as navigating through the challenges and hurdles we are dealt.
