    I’d like to help

    Stress & anxiety can be exhausting and overwhelming and make an already harsh inner critic even louder.

    My kind, direct, and compassion-focused approach helps you reduce discomfort and increase happiness while choosing your best life.

    Are we a good fit?

    It’s important to find a therapist you can relax with and ultimately grow to trust. I know the search can be super hard. It can seem like a full-time job to read through dozens of profiles and websites trying to find the ideal counselor for your unique concerns.

    I want to make the process as simple as possible. It’s my hope that reading though these pages will give you a felt-sense of me and what our work together would be like.

    Let’s start with a little about you as the client:

    The clients who are most successful in therapy with me appreciate my straightforward approach and
    are willing to dive in and do the difficult work.

    You may not know what that work will look like but you realize there are not quick fixes, no magic pills. I
    wish there were!

    You are willing to be challenged, supported, and held accountable–maybe you don’t know how to accept challenge or support in, but you’re willing to learn. The benefits of therapy happen in our weekly counseling sessions and between sessions.

    You are committed to your own happiness and growth and are willing to be curious about what gets in
    the way.

    And a bit about me as your therapist:

    I come to session fully and authentically me. I’m often told I radiate a familiar warmth that is calming and invites people to feel at ease.

    I aim to empower, support, and guide my clients to a more fulfilling life. We explore what is truly important to you. We investigate how you move through the world to fully understand which patterns are serving you well and which habits are best to let go.

    As your facilitator in this process I help remove obstacles to growth while offering steady support. I will gently, yet firmly, be challenging you throughout the process.

    Together we celebrate your wins, big and small. And while there may be tears and difficult conversations, there’s definitely a fair bit of laughter too.

    What sets me apart?

    Engaged

    I am genuinely curious about your struggles and dreams. I ask the hard questions, help connect the dots, and aim the light toward your hopes. I tend to be direct, I'm not easily offended, and I welcome your cursing and quirks. Clients are often surprised at how often we laugh together even when digging-in-deep into some really painful shit.

    Presence

    I intentionally keep caseload small because no one wants to be their therapist’s 40th client of the week! This allows my best work to shine for you during our counseling sessions. And because, like you, I too want to be happy, it allows me to have a fulfilling life outside the therapy room. I am deeply committed to your well being and mine too--as well as the space between.

    Convenient

    Because life is busy and complicated enough, all services are offered by video/telehealth. No more commuting, parking, or waiting rooms. Billing and payments are automated. My secure client portal is quick and easy for online scheduling, messaging, and picking up receipts or superbills.
