You love and cherish your child or teenager. And, you work hard to provide for their physical/emotional well-being because happy, healthy kids promote joyful families.

Painful feelings and many of life's experiences can be difficult to work through alone. A positive connection with your therapist is a contributing factor in your healing journey. If you lean in, you can learn how to process/regulate your emotions, understand your thoughts and make space for more self-compassion and confidence. If you learn to trust and love yourself, you can heal from relational abuse and trauma. You can learn to release self-limiting thoughts and trapped emotions. My intention is to support you with curiosity and compassion and help you heal the wounds that have kept you from knowing peace & thriving.

I firmly believe that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Each person carries a unique story. Through compassionate exploration, untangling internal and external pressures, and a focus on personal empowerment, a pathway to embracing one's authentic self can be revealed. Whether navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or life changes in relationships and career, know that there is hope even amidst the darkest moments.

Our lives can be filled with so many obstacles and challenges on a daily basis. Whether these challenges are personal, family, work or peers, we sometimes need to get additional perspectives and clarity on some of life's most pressing issues. I view therapy as a way for clients to seek personal growth and find helpful solutions moving forward. I use humor, compassion and unconditional support to help individuals, couples and families work through a variety of presenting issues. My goal is to help clients resolve the main problem in therapy and help them gain additional strengths and insights in their lives.

My approach to therapy is genuine and compassionate. My intention during our time together is to make you feel supported and to help you feel more connected with yourself, and guide you, without judgement, through whatever self-discovery journey you may be on. I believe in creating a space where you feel free to come as you are and feel supported.
