Life is hard. I believe therapy is a place where you can explore ways to make life more functional. It’s a place to slow down, put attention on intention, and get to know your inner workings on a deep, personal level. It’s a place to develop intimacy, non judgement, and compassion for the self and for the world.

My therapeutic approach is built on empathetic listening and genuine care. I believe that the capacity for personal growth and healing can be obtained when you feel fully seen and understood. Using an existential and interpersonal model, mindfulness and meaning can be expanded.

I am honored to work with you on this journey towards growth and wholeness. I hold deep empathy and positive regard for wherever you are and all you are with. Beginning therapy is courageous, speaking what has not been spoken, opening up, trusting and being vulnerable and authentic are strengths.
