“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” -Maya Angelou

I believe we all have a story that is worthy of being heard. Further, I have experienced and witnessed the power and healing that transpires when our stories are met with compassion and understanding. As a therapist, I strive to be a non-judgmental presence for my clients and consider it a privilege to bear witness to each client’s story and journey. I believe the key to facilitating healing, growth, and change is connection. My goal is to understand your unique circumstances, creating a partnership with you as you journey toward healing and healthier living. Drawing from a variety of approaches and interventions, I work collaboratively with clients to recognize and shift patterns that contribute to a feeling of being “stuck." Ultimately, I hope to provide a safe and welcoming space that facilitates healing of traumas and emotional wounds to assist in creating a more peaceful, joy-filled existence for my clients.
