Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

Do you feel lost, confused, stuck, hopeless? Do you feel like you are not being your authentic self and living a meaningful life? Everyday stressors, life transitions, mental health struggles and troubled relationships can get the best of people which can seem overwhelming and difficult to manage. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and life challenges can get in the way of living a balanced and joyful life. I'm very passionate about empowering people to be their authentic selves and live a meaningful life. With my guidance my clients become aware of patterns of behavior that are not longer serving them, in order to heal and grow.
