I strive to create an accepting and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel comfortable to be yourself.

I am a Person-Centered Therapist, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life and you know what is best for yourself. As your therapist, I will support you in identifying and living as your true self, rather than being who others want you to be. I additionally incorporate existentialism and interpersonal process therapy into my practice.
