Nice to meet you

Welcome! I provide therapy via telehealth, supporting clients across a wide variety of ages and concerns. I believe that life challenges are opportunities for growth. I also feel that that having fun and building relationships are essential life skills. Reaching out to see a therapist can be a difficult decision, but accepting support is a strength! My years of experience working with clients has helped me see the power of a therapeutic connection. I would be honored to support you on your journey, and look forward to meeting you.
