A trusting foundation with your therapist is the beginning to successful therapy. Our life experiences, exposure to trauma, and current events often impact behaviors and responses to these events, which can lead to the feeling of being misunderstood or confused. These issues often impact relationships, health, work, and self-esteem. A trusting collaboration with clients provides empowerment into gaining insight and self-awareness. My therapy style provides helpful guidance when clients are searching for improvements to their lives.

Let's be honest, relationships are challenging. Whether you're struggling with a romantic relationship or a relationship with yourself, I want to help. I provide a judgement free space for individuals and couples to show up as they are without expectations of who they "should be". My goal is to create an environment that is supportive of personal growth, healing from trauma and improving self-compassion. I want each client to walk out feeling seen, and heard. With empathy, understanding, and a little humor, I work with each individual or couple to build on their strengths and empower them to overcome the challenges they are facing.

Sometimes during your journey in life, or in the journeys of persons close to us, we get lost. Ideally, there is a book nearby when lost that tells us specifically how to solve life's challenges. If such a book exists, I've not encountered one. During such times, the practice of psychotherapy is often the "book" and answers we seek. Lilly is a licensed clinical professional counselor who provides therapy for adolescents, adults and families. Her caring and energetic approach involves collaboration with clients and if applicable, families. She integrates all aspects of a person to best help.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. That being said, I believe that our natural state is one of peace and contentment. When we are feeling content with ourselves, not only are we more productive in our individual endeavors, but the quality of our relationships improves. Stress brought on by the demands of modern day living can rob us of our sense of internal peace. My goal is not to change you into something you are not, but rather assist you in finding the strength that already exists within you so that you regain your peace of mind and grip on the world around you.
