Nice to meet you

I provide individual therapy to adults experiencing a range of issues. I strive to help clients understand their most vital psychological needs and envision how to fulfill them—by changing their environment, trying new behaviors, or developing more empowering attitudes about their circumstances or future opportunities. I support clients in cultivating self-compassion, refusing to be defined by setbacks, and taking meaningful action aligned with their values and purpose.
