Relationship Issues

Certain patterns in your life may be negatively impacting you, but it can be hard to identify and challenge them by yourself. Getting some help to understand those patterns can empower you to make the changes you’ve wanted for a long time. I would be honored to be your partner in creating a more fulfilling and authentic life that aligns with the future you desire instead of the wounds of the past.

Young Adults (18-24)

Adults (25-64)

Get To Know Me

As a kid, I was an avid reader; I loved observing how different characters grew and changed throughout a story to become the best version of themselves. When I grew up, I realized that I wanted to take a more active role in the story and help people grow into who they were meant to be. I believe that we heal through relationships, and one of the most unique relationships you can have in your life is with your therapist.

In a good story, it is when the main character is the most isolated that their challenges feel insurmountable. Their allies are gone, the world is against them, and they don’t know what to do next. Many of us feel like that sometimes in real life, too. If that’s the chapter you find yourself in, I want you to know that you don’t have to go it alone. I will be your ally as you discover your voice and step into your role as the hero. I aim to create a safe space where you can express your fears, uncover any negative patterns, and grow empowered to write your own story.
