We will always start our work together with focusing on what you are experiencing right now. I can help you find peace and balance as you learn to cope and adjust to the various stresses of life. We can also begin to explore how your past experiences may be influencing you today. Often times we know that our upbringing was not maybe the "best" and as a result we can feel less than fully appreciated and un-validated. This can have longterm effects on our self-esteem and wellbeing. Therapy allows us to fully explore any repeating patterns in your life, and offer freedom from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and suffering.
I offer my clients 25 years of experience in providing therapy. My passion for my work continues to grow as I support my clients in reaching their goals, mending relationships, and changing their lives. The therapy I provide is an experience of genuine connection as I am friendly, nonjudgemental, and kind.
I understand that reaching out to new therapists can be overwhelming. I respond to all contacts and inquiries with sensitivity for what you may be experiencing. I want you to receive the best treatment possible and to feel comfortable and safe while in therapy sessions. I invite you to call, text, or e-mail me to get started. *Currently Accepting New Clients
