Values and Goals

If you’re feeling “off,” you may know yourself well enough to acknowledge that something needs to change, but the way forward feels unclear or scary. There can be no change without awareness. I view therapy as a tool for just that: increased understanding of our inner and outer worlds.

Client Focus

Teenagers (13-17)

Young Adults (18-24)

Adults (25-64)

Get To Know Me

As your therapist, I start by helping you become aware of the realities that inform your view of the world and yourself - and that may be holding you back. With compassion and great care for safety, we’ll continue to uncover the personal strengths that can equip you with the self-confidence to navigate your life and relationships.

As your guide on this journey, I strive to create trust and safety in our relationship so that we can talk about difficult subjects that may have caused you to form fears and ideas about yourself and the world that aren’t serving you. We’ll explore their origins, the impact they've had, how they've been maintained or overcome, and collaborate on identifying goals and options for moving forward.

My training and personal development provide me with insight specifically into how different family, social, and cultural contexts influence the views we develop of ourselves and others. I look forward to exploring your world together!
