I genuinely believe you are fully capable and worthy of living a deep, meaningful, and authentic life. I also believe sometimes things just suck, and the only way out is through - but we don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a place to find support as you learn to navigate your way through life. In session, I lean on empathy and humor to create a safe space to creative and cultivate personal growth.
I will actively and compassionately journey alongside you as you move towards healing. My desire for everyone is to leave my office equipped with self-compassion, self-awareness, and whatever necessary tools are needed to feel empowered to live a values-aligned life.
To 2 humans, and 1 dog. My best day ever would be a day spent with the three of them… outside majority of the day, inside for a long nap, and ending the day with ice-cream.
I can’t swim, I can’t watch a movie without falling asleep, I can’t give directions without drawing a map, I can’t pogo stick. The list goes on, and it doesn’t bother me one bit. I know my strengths, and I know my weaknesses. I like to stay in my lane, which definitely isn’t the one in the pool. (This also means if we aren’t a good fit for therapy, I will make sure I connect you with someone who is!)
I care about things deeply, I feel emotions deeply, and I’ve been told I can’t control the volume of my laughter.
