Hi, Welcome!

Therapy is a place to feel known and understood. Here you will find a supportive, empathic, and compassionate space where you can be yourself. I am committed to working deeply and gently with your life story to understand the beauty and teachings it holds awaiting your discovery.

Therapy is most effective when it takes into consideration the cultures we identify with and how they shape our beliefs and our worldview.  Wellspring Counseling is an inclusive, affirming, trauma-informed, anti-racist practice and provides a safe, sacred space for everyone who trusts me with their care. 

Coming to therapy and embarking on this journey takes real courage.  I admire and appreciate what brought you here.  You already have tremendous resources within to deal with any problem or crisis.  I look forward to the privilege of walking with you and becoming comrades in your journey, and in the work ahead, my hope is that we will also share a lot of laughter and joy along the way.
