Every person deserves to be seen and heard. Regardless of who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done, there is an innate goodness to you and a valid reason for the perspective you have and the emotions you feel. Therapy can help you explore these things and be a place of true discovery and meaningful change. I am here to help you in that process by providing supportive listening, non- judgmental observations, and skills coaching. I can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself through increasing awareness of emotions and patterns of behavior, discover useful ways to cope with difficult and painful emotions, and build and maintain healthy relationships. I enjoy working with teens, adults, and families to discover their unique strengths, build resilience, and live more purposeful and healthy lives.
