Description

Welcome!

People often reach out to me when they are feeling stuck in their lives. They want something to change, but they don’t know how. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I help guide them from distress to a place of healing, personal growth, and self-discovery.

I like move beyond managing symptoms to foster lasting change. I take a compassionate, person-centered approach that combines evidence-based practices with the radical pragmatism to best serve my clients. I help people break free from patterns that keep them stuck, heal trauma, and build a deeper connection to themselves.
