empathetic, caring, genuine, and willing to joke around and be sarcastic when helpful and needed. I bring my whole self to each session.

To me, therapy is a collaborative process. I know theories and techniques, you know your struggles, thoughts, and feelings. Therapy is about combining all of that to understand problems/situations and make changes that feel good and help you grow.

Learn, heal, and grow. We may discuss emotions and how to regulate and express them. We may discuss the brain and how we create habit thoughts. We may work through traumatic events and help them hurt less. There is so much we can do!

I frequently work with people dealing with PTSD, chronic illness/chronic pain, depression, and anxiety. I also work with people who don't know exactly what is going on or what they want. We can often figure that out together.

I became a therapist because I know the struggle, and I know how hard and scary it is to be vulnerable enough to talk about struggling.

I make my space comfy, cozy, and safe. I have fidgets, a weighted elephant for your lap, & I always have a puzzle available to work on while we talk.
