Beginning therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming or uncomfortable, but I strive to provide a warm, caring, and down to earth atmosphere. Our therapy space is a judgment-free zone - a place for you to be your true, authentic, imperfect self. I am a sounding board for you to share your pain and fear, and celebrate your sucess and growth. I believe that everyone has the potential to overcome their obstacles with the appropriate tools and insight.

Coming to therapy is the first step, and it may seem scary, but you are not alone. I believe the therapeutic process is a collaborative effort. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A), I am committed to provide an environment for my clients to be their true authentic self, in a judgment free environment. My goal is to help client create the change they want in their lives. As you navigate daily stressors in life, I want you to know that asking for help is the most beneficial thing can do for yourself to help strength connection and express yourself.

Many people come into therapy because they want change in their lives, but said change feels scary or unobtainable. I partner with you to identify the changes you want to make and understand the beliefs and stories that maintain the issues and problems you hope to change. I will actively participate in your therapy by asking exploratory questions, using empathic listening, and gently and lovingly holding up the mirror so you can become increasingly aware and accepting of yourself.

Our approach is rooted in the belief that self-awareness is the cornerstone of healing and transformation.
