Adult Individual Therapist

Treatment focus:

If you are here, you are likely ready to take a courageous next step toward healing. Diving into the trying parts of being a human being in a difficult world, can feel intimidating-- but know that it can be equal parts challenging and beautiful. I welcome you to this next step along your journey and strive to offer a place to come as you are without the burden of judgment. All backgrounds, beliefs, and identities are welcome here, all struggles are welcome here. What we will always have in common in this space will be a dedication to honoring your experiences, your goals, and your ideas for what makes a meaningful and fulfilling life. If you feel you are ready to get to this work, I am here to offer a hand up in the process and look forward to meeting with you!
