Learn to Replace Self Judgment with self Compassion

Why therapy

Therapy can deepen and enrich your understanding of yourself. It is a safe place to practice social and emotional skills you may have never learned growing up. It is an opportunity to fully accept your unique and authentic self. If you are struggling to find your way, I can help you find more clarity.

Work with me

I believe that therapy can be helpful for most people; whether you are in crisis or wanting an outside perspective on a difficult issue.

I think of myself as a mirror to support you in seeing your blind spots that may be causing emotional pain. I believe in helping you minimize your suffering and distress through self acceptance and compassion.

I see many bright, self motivated and successful adults who benefit from having a thought partner for complicated moments.

I have particular skill in working with women, LGBTQIA+ folx, and high masking autistic adults (self realized or diagnosed.)
