My approach is collaborative, client-centered, and compassionate. I welcome you as you are and want to know you holistically. Trust and safety are imperative in doing this vulnerable, deeply personal work, so my main priority is ensuring my clients experience those things with me. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, explore painful feelings, and discover ways to have a more fulfilling life (whatever that looks like for you). 

 

We often operate in ways that are ingrained in us from childhood but perhaps no longer serve us. It can be difficult to identify these patterns and their origins, let alone to change them! Part of my job is to help you do this. I can help you identify the things that are keeping you stuck. 

 

I work with adults who are struggling. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, a difficult life transition (becoming a parent, graduating from college, becoming an empty-nester), or an unexpected change (loss of a loved one, infidelity, losing a job), I am here to weather the storm with you. I help clients gain new coping skills, discover healthier ways of thinking, and help empower them to make changes. 

​

I hesitate to write what I "specialize" in, because people are not homogenous. Saying that I've worked with depression doesn't mean that I consequently understand your depression: how it affects you, how it feels for you, what it means to you. Each client I've worked with has their own unique life experience, strengths, fears and concerns. My passion is connecting with people on an authentic basis. I want to know all of the things that make you you. 

​

People have the capacity for great change and healing. I've seen it time and time again. If you are ready to be vulnerable, to prioritize authenticity, to work hard, try new things, and sometimes sit with discomfort when you want to run away, then we will probably be a good fit to work together.
