I am a trauma-informed licensed therapist with ten years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families to manage depression, anxiety, PTSD, family conflict, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. One of my greatest joys as a therapist is working with members of diverse communities to be the best version of themselves. I believe that we can best heal and grow through emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and understanding of how our cultural background and life circumstances have impacted our life outlook. I have helped many people over the years establish a stronger sense of self-esteem and life direction.

Let’s get you back in control and living freely. We seek therapy for many reasons- we might find ourselves in the same destructive cycles or feel trapped in our own lives. We might find ourselves unable to stop thinking about traumatic memories or acting out our trauma over and over. We might feel out of place in our own bodies, knowing something is not aligning with our gender, sex, or sexual orientation but not sure where to start. Or we just may be wanting to find our greatest potential and change our behavior patterns for success. I can help. We can work together to see your life a little differently and start to make change.

First of all, bravo for reaching out for help. The fact that you are doing a Google search for a therapist in your area is the first step to getting better, and it is a big one so congratulations on starting your journey! My counseling practice believes in the journey. This is why I named it "Wayfare Counseling". Wayfare is an Old English word that means "to go on a journey". This is what I believe counseling is all about. The journey is just as important as the recovery, and I would love to come alongside you in that process.
