Deciding to seek therapy is a positive step in your journey. At times through the counseling process there could be emotional discomfort due to remembering unpleasant events. The outcome of your treatment tremendously depends on your willingness to engage in the process. There are no miracle cures and specific results are not guaranteed.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My goal is to foster a safe environment for all my clients to explore feelings and emotions that have been creating distress. With younger children, I understand that it may be harder to communicate their feelings with words and play therapy can be used to more effectively explore their thoughts. My hope is to create a therapeutic relationship to guide the client toward positive coping skills and start leading more enriching lives. I believe that each client has the ability and the capacity within themselves to become empowered and thrive.

A therapeutic alliance is the only relationship that can be completely about you and judgment free. This gives you the opportunity and emotional space to uncover and work through unhelpful patterns that you have learned as a means of survival. The good news is that you no longer have to merely survive. Through our work together, we will create new patterns of coping that will help you thrive in all areas of your life.

So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it” or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” when the unexpected happens or we lose control of situations and ourselves. Not only does this usually make us feel worse and/or not heard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. I’m sure people typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.

Therapy isn't supposed to be scary, and we are here to support you, your family, your children, and/or your partner.
Through education and experience, our clinicians know that clients are doing the best they can at all times. Life can be so difficult, and we as humans are tasked with the complex job of navigating those difficulties. Our clinicians utilize a trauma-informed and multi-dimensional approach to help clients understand themselves, others, and their place in the world. However, when working with anyone, our goal is to give you tools, skills, and support to help clients navigate the world outside of therapy. You deserve to feel safe, heard, seen, and understood.
