Personally Speaking

​

My work is grounded in the belief that everyone is deserving of a space where they can share and process their thoughts and feelings without judgment. As a down-to-earth and empathetic person with a good sense of humor, I consider it a privilege to listen to your stories, ideas, and troubles. Using a client-centered approach and evidence-based interventions, we will work together to explore the patterns in your thinking and actions that

may have you feeling stuck personally or in your relationship.

​

Together, we will identify your strengths and the tools you already possess to move in a positive, healthy new direction. I am committed to providing you with a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can receive the validation, compassion, and time needed for reflection, processing, and growth.

 

Outside of my professional life, I am an ally of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I take time to go on adventures with my puppy Boston, do yoga, gardening, and unwind with a movie and a warm cup of tea. 

 

I am now accepting new clients and offering a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore any questions and confirm a good fit.
