Therapy style

My goal from our first interaction to our last is to give you a safe space to feel heard and validated. A space to laugh, cry, and feel all the feels in between. I promise to work myself out of a job, giving you all the tools to empower you to fire me when you do not need therapy anymore. But until that day, I promise to be on your team.

I love the ocean, I will swim in it almost any day of the year. I am obsessed with dogs, and I love turning music on instead of tv or sitting outside with a good book.
