My ideal client are the ones who tried therapy in the past, felt like it didn't match or work as well as they had wanted and are hesitant to try again but hold out hope that they can have the life they always wanted. One of the greatest feelings I have as a therapist is watching a client is seeing a client go from lack of confidence and hope to to a place of confidence, peace and happiness.

Having worked extensively with children, adolescents and their families, I would say my ideal client is pre-teen to adult working through behavioral struggles including impulse control, defiance, hyperactivity, etc. I work closely with and honor the family unit and also work with couples, relationship and marriage counseling for the betterment of that unit.

If you are hurting or confused or just curious, counseling can be very helpful for improving your quality of life. I've worked with many issues for more than 12 years, each as unique as the individual or couple, but the list on my full profile will give you a general idea. It's always a pleasure to meet new people and build therapeutic relationships.

The most profound force is a person’s ability to heal. Life can deal its chaos and turmoil to anyone, but I believe that we are all on our own path toward wholeness. When we lose ourselves for a time, problems such as anxiety, depression, or addiction may arise. My priorities as a therapist are to be a collaborator and guide to nurture the growth and healing that is already occurring in you. I strive to bring a relational style to the therapeutic process knowing that it is sacred–yet potentially painful and intimidating–to ‘bear one’s soul’ to another. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and seek to create a warm and welcoming space for all.

Life is beautiful but also challenging. At times those challenges can seem overwhelming and never ending. We all need some support along the way. Thankfully we do not have to walk that path alone. I desire to walk alongside others in whatever journey they may be on. I would love to come alongside you and take you down a road of exploration and restoration. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, self-worth, relational issues, personal growth, grief and loss, and attachment issues. I hope we can work together to bring more peace, fulfillment and beauty back into your life!
