The Indian poet Bhanusimha wrote "I slept & dreamt that life was joy. I awoke & found that life was service. I acted & behold, service was joy." These words have always deeply resonated with me, & are an inspiration for why I decided to dedicate my career to growing into the kind of person I needed most when I was younger.

I work best with anyone who is ready to show up to tell their story & has a desire to work on their mental health!

That it takes time, insight, & sometimes a few tries to get it right! Seasons in our lives change constantly, & that means sometimes the need for healing through therapy does too. If it's not a fit the first time around, try again! 

First sessions are for building rapport & getting to know each other's styles & it's your opportunity to tell your story. I will listen attentively, ask questions to gain insight, & we will collaborate together on a plan to help you get the most out of the therapy experience. From there, we will work together each meeting to tackle whatever issues you bring to the table.  

Jean-Paul Sartre said "Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." As someone who comes from a family background of generational mental health & addiction struggles, these words have always stuck with me. I know firsthand how much my past experiences impacted my life growing up, & I find solace in reaching out to people with similar stories to remind myself that we're all so much more alike than we realize.

As a therapist, I start by meeting you where you're at in your life, & I follow your lead from there! Whether you're in the early stages of contemplating about making a change or you have already committed yourself to the process, my approach is flexible enough to support you at any stage you find yourself currently.
