I aim to provide a safe space to support healing and change in your life.
Therapy can help you learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life.
As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that.
Through validation, curiosity, and posing questions with a non-judgmental approach, we will help dig deeper into the concerns that brought you to therapy in the first place. As you begin to learn more about yourself, we will integrate new ways of coping and adapting.

You are entitled to a Good Faith Estimate of total costs, which, upon request, I will determine by multiplying the session fee by the likely number of sessions you may need in the next 12 months. This is simply an estimate- you may always end treatment at any time.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
