Therapy is more than just what happens in a therapy session. Therapy is a state of being, a mindset that you can carry with you forever. It is a mindset of freedom and flexibility, curiosity and exploration, authenticity and empowerment. Therapy is the noble task of courageously moving toward difficult feelings instead of avoiding them, a process of undoing shame and fear that have held you back from knowing yourself. Therapy is a space where anything feels possible, because you are seen as the complex human being that you are. I want to share this space with you.

Tired of reading Psychology Today profiles? Feel like therapy doesn’t “work” for you? We may be a good fit. Therapy is more than just what happens in a therapy session. Therapy is a state of being; a mindset of flexibility, curiosity, and empowerment. Therapy is the noble task of courageously moving toward difficult feelings instead of avoiding them, a process of undoing shame and fear that have held you back from knowing yourself.

I believe that by telling your story as truthfully as possible, you will grow to deepen your relationships and live a more authentic life. I see therapy as an art form, where you and I are creative collaborators. Sessions can be profound, gut-wrenching, refreshing, funny, surprising, challenging, exhilarating… Words cannot express the possibilities.

I embrace spirituality and am very comfortable discussing dreams, religious beliefs, paranormal experiences, spiritual breakthroughs, psychedelic experiences, etc. I enjoy working with adults of all ages, races, cultures, genders, abilities, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

I see therapy as a mindset—one of courage, curiosity, and self-compassion. It’s the work of facing hard emotions, loosening the grip of shame, and reconnecting with who you really are. I offer a space where you’re met with honesty, care, and a belief in your capacity for lasting change.
