Late Arrival Policy: I would like to remind clients that sessions are to start at their scheduled start time. I recognize that there are days when I run a few moments behind. However, each appointment slot is allocated 1 hour. This hour includes document preparation and review — as such, the face-to-face portion of those hour sessions lasts 53 minutes.
Any client arriving more than 15 minutes late (in-person or virtually) will be rescheduled and billed as a late cancellation (the session fee).
Personal Bio
I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow. I take a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy, helping clients face life’s difficulties with honesty, curiosity, and hope.
I commonly work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-worth, communication challenges, and difficulty adjusting to life’s changes. Whether you’re navigating a recent transition or carrying the weight of long-standing experiences, we’ll work together to better understand what’s happening and develop healthier ways to move forward.
I am especially passionate about helping individuals who are experiencing or recovering from divorce. Divorce can bring overwhelming emotions, uncertainty, and changes in family dynamics. I enjoy helping clients learn to care for themselves, communicate more effectively, and, when children are involved, develop healthy and successful co-parenting relationships. I also proudly provide an affirming and supportive environment for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
As a relational therapist, I believe the connection between therapist and client is one of the most powerful tools for healing. Building trust is an important part of my work because it allows us to address challenges openly and honestly. I strive to be approachable, relatable, and supportive while helping you make meaningful progress toward your goals.
During your first appointment, we’ll spend time getting to know one another. I’ll learn about your experiences, your concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy so we can determine the best path forward together. My hope is that you leave our first meeting feeling hopeful, supported, and curious about yourself and the possibilities that therapy can offer.
One of the reminders I share most often with clients is, “More than one thing can be true at a time.” Life is rarely black and white, and learning to hold space for multiple truths can be an important step toward self-compassion, healing, and growth.
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my two teenagers. I also love cooking, traveling, and spending time outdoors whenever I can.
