About

With the demands of everyday life, our own emotional demands can often go unmet- causing pain, discomfort, bitterness, and frustration. Taking a step back from the responsibilities pulling us in all directions to closely examine our emotions and relationships can feel impossible, uncomfortable, or even intolerable. But if you're interested in pursuing therapy, you may have already realized the discomfort of things remaining "stuck" is worth trading for the discomfort that comes with growth. If you want to make changes and don't know where to start, talking it through with an empathic therapist can help.

My experience working with trauma survivors from across the lifespan and diverse backgrounds has profoundly influenced my therapeutic approach. I consider each client the expert in their own survival. As your therapist, I defer to your expertise on your lived experience, listening for strengths and resilience you may not notice from within your own story.

Your pain is valid. Grappling with heartbreak, betrayal, and loss comes with its expectable pain. Fortunately, it also spurs growth we aren’t capable of acquiring when we get “too comfortable.” If you're looking for a nonjudgmental therapist to sit with you in the discomfort while you grow in pursuit of your goals, I'm here for it.
