    Do you feel overwhelmed with challenging emotions, like anxiety, sadness, or anger? Are you spread thin with responsibilities and doubting your capacity to cope? Maybe you are in a relationship that is a source of tension, and you’re feeling frustrated and alone instead of fulfilled and connected. Maybe your career has lost its excitement or your deeply-held passions have waned. You feel stuck but you don’t know why.

    If you can relate, know there is hope and you are not alone. Therapy is a space to heal and grow, beginning from the first session. It is a space to find support, gain insight, learn new tools for navigating your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. It is a space to address past wounds and make meaningful life changes, so you can flourish.

    If this is the supportive space you need, I invite you to call for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

    What do you like about being a therapist?

    I find this work meaningful because it involves a lot of what I care about: human connection, empathy, and healing, and the courage it takes to get there. In this work, challenge and loss are transformed into beauty and new life. I find that inspiring!

    What is the best advice you have been given?

    It wasn’t advice, but a question: “What do you want?” It helped me see that our wants, needs, and preferences do matter. There is a balance between caring for ourselves and caring for others; we need a self before we can be selfless.”
