My purpose is to provide you a safe place where we can meet and build a relationship of trust, based on talk and explore, together, the hurt, the confusion, feeling stuck, and and obstacles that keep you from finding healing, meaning, and a better life. I meet with individuals, couples, children, and families to work on issues concerning family of origin, relationships, identity, spirituality, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and more. Once we enter into the client-therapist relationship, my top priority is to be with you through the therapeutic process, and to support you as you begin taking steps towards living the life you desire.

Not to mention some of the difficulties you may have faced as a family, like adoption, divorce, death of a loved one, or a traumatic event. You can see that your child is struggling, but they won’t even talk to you or they don’t have the language to communicate their big feelings to you. How do you help your child when you are not sure where to start? Well I am here to help.

Honestly, life is hard and filled with many challenges. Everyone could use help navigating these everyday challenges or traumas. I embody an authentic and real approach to therapy. My ideal client comes to therapy ready to look within themselves. This may look like taking risks, expressing their authenticity and being open to applying skills learned in therapy, outside of the room. It is important that the client remembers to bring their true self into the room, flaws and all. Only then can we begin to heal, grow and thrive.

Throughout our lives, we carry within us the voices, the gaze, acceptance or disapproval, the expectations, and the praise or criticism of those who have raised us and occupied our lives. Therapy can help us discover and clarify these powerful experiences and grow in our understanding of how they motivate us, giving us freedom to make more authentic decisions in our daily lives. I view therapy as an opportunity to heal, receive support, solve problems, improve relationships, and escape problems and patterns that seem to reappear over time.

Seeking therapy is one of the bravest things you can do. Accepting that you need help in resolving your struggles does not mean there is something "wrong" with you, but rather that you LOVE yourself enough to do what you need to do to get better. I look forward to developing a strong and safe relationship between us as I join you on your journey toward healing. I do this by working to understand you, your concerns, and your background, particularly those factors that may have shape who you are and may have contributed to your current problems.
