I believe that personal health encompasses not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, and thoughts as well. My passion for psychotherapy comes from helping others achieve their goals and fulfill a wholistic picture of health by improving and integrating all areas of their lives. Since I began practicing in the field in 2018, I have discovered that one of the greatest rewards for me is supporting clients in learning new skills and gaining a different perspective often while using a sense of humor. While doing this, my goal is to help them utilize their own strengths and abilities to develop a happier and healthier life.

Your life feels like it is falling apart and you are being pulled in so many different directions. Your employer needs you; your family needs you, and so do your friends. You feel overwhelmed, defeated, anxious, and depressed. You are trying to hold it all together but it is catching up to you and you can’t do it anymore. You give so much to everyone else and there is nothing left of you. You have lost yourself and you just can’t cope anymore.
