Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or have been in therapy many times before, it’s so important to find a therapist that feels like the right fit for you. I want to personally acknowledge the courage, intentionality, and investment you have placed in yourself in deciding to seek support in the form of counseling/therapy. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, caregiving, chronic illness and pain, loss, stress and trauma related symptoms, or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.
Therapy offers opportunities to increase awareness, build skills and enhance your unique abilities. The gains you make will help alleviate stress, strengthen coping, and nurture healing. My goal is to create an empathic, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can examine your life, explore your goals, process, and move towards positive growth.
I work with individuals, couples, families. I utilized a strengths-based perspective and take a holistic and individualistic approach by reviewing your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. I believe that your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard.
