Finding the right path
Life is full of growth and transition. Sometimes this can be a painful process that requires additional support and nurturing. Becoming our best selves takes patience, practice, and compassion. As humans we are driven to maximize our potential but sometimes, we can get lost in the details of what life throws at us. Refocusing on our unique passions and strengths can help guide us during our most difficult times.

What I offer
Affirming Support
My experience has been largely in the area of crisis stabilization. Over the past several years. I have worked within a variety of acute settings ranging from community-based to inpatient and emergency department hospital settings. While working with individuals at their absolute worst, I have had the privilege to witness the hope that comes from total transformation and healing.In my practice, my approach is affirming, creative, and strengths based. My services are uniquely catered to each client’s needs and are highly collaborative. I enjoy helping clients find their center while forging a new path for themselves that allows them the freedom to live in a way that feels authentic to them. I use a variety of tools to do so including art, metaphor, humor, tarot, literature, and research.

You do not need a therapist to heal
You know yourself better than anyone and have valuable insight into what you need. Sometimes we lose sight of this or stop trusting ourselves, becoming stuck. This is when it becomes useful to connect with a clinician who can see your strengths, challenge your insecurities, and cheer you on as you move forward.
