I'll support you in diving deep and offer gentle encouragement when necessary. My practice merges my personal and professional experiences to help you uncover purpose and meaning. I specialize in going beyond traditional talk therapy to help people struggling with anxiety and life transitions to feel empowered to live as their true, authentic selves.
