High satisfaction rate with clients

Clients report a lasting relationship

Nice to meet you

As a therapist who specializes in supporting those experiencing significant life transitions, I’ll work with you to reduce the anxiety and stress often associated with "adulting." I pride myself on being a comfortable and welcoming space for clients to express themselves and explore their future. My approach is soft and gentle when needed however, straight-forward and accountable when necessary. I often laugh with my clients when appropriate and this makes our sessions and rapport built GREAT!
