I’m here to walk alongside you.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a public school teacher for a decade, working with teens during a period of their lives often filled with angst and uncertainty. I developed a unique skillset in explaining complex concepts, approaching challenges from multiple perspectives, and individualizing support for each student. Now I get to use those skills in the context of therapeutically supporting clients with their most vulnerable obstacles, and not just the Pythagorean Theorem.

My personal journey with therapy began when I started avoiding sleep due to anxiety about what the next day would bring. Therapy helped me first gain awareness of my own confusion between suffering and growth. This work empowered me to make the necessary changes to live a life I look forward to waking up to.

Then I became a parent, which led to a litany of other life changes. I learned that rather than just “trying harder”, I had to express what I needed in a way that maintained my connection with my loved ones. It’s easy to get lost in the everyday busyness of life, which can lead to more assumptions between partners. It takes both intention and tools to maintain an understanding of each other, and support through this transition to parenthood helps the whole household feel better.

Together, we can create space for change and understanding.

Healing often comes through relationships; having someone witness and respond to my experience with understanding and clarity is where the transformation develops. My commitment to you is creating a therapeutic space that is grounded in authenticity, empathy and respect. Together, our work will foster resiliency for the challenges of life while building the capacity to pursue the life you’ve dreamed of.
