Introduction

I am dedicated to facilitating deep and impactful change. I not only treat symptoms but will encourage you to aim for a more connected and fulfilled life. I believe that a safe, supportive and truly affirming environment is the beginning. From this place, you can take necessary risks, enhance connections to self and others, lift or establish boundaries, desensitize and reprocess distress, among other meaningful shifts. I will actively and collaboratively move you toward a more expansive version of yourself, conveying humor, authenticity, expressiveness, and care.
