I understand how changes and challenges in life, especially now, can “throw a curve ball” into plans. This can create stress and a feeling of being overwhelmed or out of control.

This is my calling, my “job”, to help you find the best version of yourself and develop skills to deal with life’s stressors. I feel my approach is a little different than others, kind of like two people sitting at a table, brainstorming both root causes and resolutions for your situation.

Unbecoming and becoming. In my strong opinion this is what therapy is about. For many people it is difficult to get through childhood unscathed. Unfortunately, traumatic experiences are a part of life. Through these wounds, we create masks and walls within us, and acquire unhealthy and unhelpful coping skills, keeping us chained to our past. Our childhood experiences, whether we remember them or not, are interwoven into the fabric of our being and how we live our lives and do relationships. Every person needs and deserves to be seen, heard, understood, and gotten, which leads to love, acceptance, and connection.
