Getting Started

Finding a therapist can be a strange process. 

Not only can it require some understanding of how therapy works – as a healing process and as a professional relationship – but it can also involve sifting through a lot of jargon and clinical terms.

Meanwhile, you just know something in your life needs to change and that you need help. That’s all we need to get started. Whether you are new to therapy, have received counseling in faith-based or academic settings, or even if you have years of therapy experience, I am ready to make psychotherapy approachable and transformative for you. The next step is to schedule a complimentary consultation.

My Approach

I support my patients by combining innovative, science-based techniques & approaches with my own down-to-Earth, playful, & deeply compassionate stance. Our work together can build upon your existing strengths, learn new skills, & break free from unhelpful habits.

My clinical strength & focus is supporting those who are pulled between two or more value systems; those who struggle to meet the competing demands of life. This can include first & second-generation immigrants, first-responders, students who are the first in their family to attend college, & those who are touched by the social costs of upward mobility.

Whether you are new to therapy, or even if you have years of therapy experience, I am prepared to make psychotherapy approachable & transformative for you.
