Having the willingness to bring yourself into the counseling room and sharing your deepest hurts with a stranger can be extremely difficult. Coming in with the openness and desire to get better without knowing how it is all going to work takes a lot of courage. A desire to get better is where it starts, the next step is showing up and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know it's scary, but you won't be walking this road alone. My job is to stand alongside you and help guide the steps to healing.

My goal in your therapy journey is to provide you a safe place to explore those difficulties, working towards a healthier and happier life.

Life's disappointments can leave us feeling shaken, shattered, or even destroyed, causing us to question our purpose or if we will ever feel whole again. If you have found yourself in this place, rest assured you are not alone. However, the pain that has defined your life for a season does not have to define your future. If you are ready to process the painful events of the past, address challenging events in the present, and step into a brighter future you are in the right place.

My counseling approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. By definition, this allows individuals to experience growth, positive outcomes, and fulfillment by actively participating in his or her own therapy in order to create change. Often, people lose hope when they think that things will never be different. They try and struggle and sometimes fail. But, you have an opportunity to think differently, relate differently, and transition from negativity to positive behaviors which will result in a powerful sense of self and promote strong interpersonal relationships.
