Life can be hard - it can be helpful to talk to someone. I hold a strong conviction that there is no issue too big or small to justify seeing a therapist.

Life can be challenging. Whether we’re falling apart, experiencing minor setbacks or even doing relatively well, it can be really helpful to have someone to talk to. I hold a strong conviction that there is no issue too big or small to justify seeing a therapist. I provide a confidential space in which you’ll receive unconditional support and validation - things we all need, but don’t always get. I have extensive experience providing treatment for anxiety, grief, and trauma to individuals, in addition to the issues listed on the side of this page. I love to work with adults of all ages. Don’t hesitate to contact me. I provide initial consultations free of charge, and a consultation is not a commitment to anything formal. Additionally, I'm an advocate for making therapy affordable, and will negotiate fees that complement your financial situation. I look forward to meeting you!
