To quote from C.S. Lewis, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” I would like to help you create the ending, a fulfilling life, as well as release hurts and heal and create ways to move forward. Together we will explore what you want and why. I believe everybody has the potential to grow no matter where they are in life. If you have ADHD, depression, anxiety and more, I am connected with a medical prescriber. I have eleven years plus experience as a school-based therapist and as a clinician for children to adults of all ages.

With all of the challenges that life can throw at us, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or helpless. Life satisfaction and happiness might seem like distant goals with no clear path forward to reach them. You may find that you are spending more and more time stuck in your own head, perseverating on your struggles and acting as your own harshest critic. To me, therapy rooted in compassion and empathy can be a fantastic tool for navigating these challenges and discovering meaning and self-empowerment.
