Do you have trouble staying focused and feel like you are constantly being pulled in multiple directions uncertain as to where to spend your time and energy? You are not alone and it is NOT your fault. You CAN you live differently.

Life involves constant changes, and is not always easy. Change is necessary for growth, but can cause confusion and discomfort, which may impair our ability to move towards the fulfilling lives we envision.

I believe that a supportive, therapeutic relationship, with you in the driver's seat, can provide clarity and direction. My person-centered approach can help you feel more secure as you navigate your own path. I look forward to walking it with you.

You matter to me! Since everyone's story is unique, we will utilize different therapeutic approaches that work best for you.
