I seek to provide a safe therapeutic space that honors your experiences and assists you in achieving your goals. I resonate with Carl Rogers, who wrote, “When I accept myself as I am, then I can change.” I see counseling as a process of healing that invites you to tell your story without shame, build on your strengths, and discover untapped internal resources in collaboration with a professional guide. As you author the next chapter of your life, a transformation is possible where you move from surviving to thriving.

When we don't feel safe, heard, accepted, or understood, our lives become more challenging. Our defense mechanisms, the behaviors we find hardest to change, become stronger, and our worries become louder. As a therapist, I believe in creating a nurturing, safe, trusting, and non-judgemental environment where you can feel seen, heard, and free to share openly. In our sessions, the walls that were once built up can come down to create a place of acceptance and healing. I want you to know that you are good enough, you can heal, and you have the ability to save yourself!

Stress related to life transitions, struggling to maintain healthy relationships, or even experienced trauma can lead to increased anxiety, depression, or difficulty coping with life’s demand.

While working together we will have an opportunity to explore the thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, uncertainties, and anything else you need in your life to help cultivate a resolution, clarity, peace, and happiness.

We all need help sometimes. Counseling and psychotherapy can help to relieve suffering and to having more peace inside. There’s an old joke … How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but the lightbulb has to want to change. It is a joint effort, no doubt. When addiction or other mental health problems are present, normal functioning and relationships can become impaired. Psychotherapy can lead to improvement of mood and functioning, relief from suffering, and to having a far better chance of experiencing happiness.

Hello. I use a direct, yet supportive approach to focus on improving life skills and releasing negative beliefs and behaviors. Experience has shown that by changing unhealthy patterns, expressing fears, and taking gentle risks, it is possible to live a more satisfying life regardless of past traumas and other issues. With a combination of techniques, we will work together on both short and long term goals. I am an interactive therapist and encourage intensive work both in and out of the office. I have a home office and use video sessions as needed to help with time constraints/distance. I have two small sweet dogs.
