You can sit down with ten different therapists and hear ten different explanations about why they do what they do. And yet, there is often a common denominator: broken healers. I'm no exception. I haven't figured it all out, and I don't pretend to have. I've come to believe that meaningful healing begins in relationship, and that one of the greatest things I can offer as a therapist is my own humanity. I do what I do because I'm trying to offer others something that was once offered to me. In many ways, I'm simply trying to pay it forward. And I get to do that in one of the most remarkable ways imaginable: walking alongside others on a journey of growth and healing.

​

I often approach this work through the use of story. I believe stories are incredibly powerful. They're deeply ingrained in who we are, whether through the books we read, the movies we watch, the music we listen to, or the games we play. But perhaps the most powerful story of all is the one we're living.

​

Over the last decade, I've had the privilege of walking alongside others as they explore the stories of their lives. Together, we take an open and honest look at the experiences, relationships, and decisions that have shaped their present circumstances, while considering what changes might lead to a healthier and more meaningful next chapter. My approach is collaborative, drawing from a variety of therapeutic perspectives to help people better understand where they've been, where they are, and where they'd like to go.

​

While I work with adults navigating a variety of challenges, including trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and parenting, I find particular satisfaction in couples counseling. I believe we're wired for relationships, and that some of our most meaningful opportunities for growth and healing happen within them. Helping couples better understand themselves, one another, and the relationship they're building is a particularly rewarding part of my work.

​

It would be an honor to sit with you, hear your story, and explore what the next chapter might look like. Because meaningful growth doesn't always require knowing how the entire story unfolds. Sometimes, it simply begins with taking the next step.
