"Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding." – Shannon L. Alder In my practice, I aim to create a supportive, collaborative, and accepting space to help you become more effective in navigating your life experiences and relationships. My approach is integrative, drawing on psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapies, and emotionally focused therapy. I hope to foster healing and lasting personal growth through increasing insight and providing tailored tools to each client. I honor and appreciate the diversity of individuals’ identities and backgrounds and strive to cultivate a safe environment for you to feel heard and understood. I work with individuals and couples addressing concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship distress, and women’s health.
