It takes COURAGE to seek out therapy and face your challenges. We also need COURAGE to trust a stranger to fully listen to you and treat your concerns with care and respect. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to work as a team to overcome barriers/obstacles. Therapy can be both challenging and rewarding. As your therapist, I will provide an empathetic ear, help find solutions, discuss underlying issues, identify unrealistic expectations placed on you or the world around you, teach coping skills and be a therapeutic ear as you build the COURAGE to face your challenges.

So you've had enough. You've had enough of people acting like you don't have a life of your own, your issues to worry about, your stress- because they expect you to solve their problems. When you've been drowning in work and stress, they give you a high five instead of a life vest. You're not looking for anyone to save you; you want a break, some appreciation, and maybe even some peace. It doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Life is full of expected and unexpected experiences. Taking care of yourself can mean seeking support to address behavioral, psychological, spiritual, physical, and emotional concerns. Psychotherapy provides a safe space to talk about the problems that may be impacting your life. Imagine feeling renewed, empowered, or on a different path. I believe in the human ability to grow, heal, and overcome difficulties throughout life.
