No issue is too big or too small to unpack—seriously, I’ve worked with just about every challenge you can imagine. I find real meaning in helping others navigate through these moments. Whether you’re seeking immediate support during a crisis or long-term guidance for personal growth, I’m happy to chat and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently in-network with Aetna and also offer a sliding scale for those who are not in-network.
