Are you ready to be more of who you “want” to be, rather than who you’ve always “had” to be? I celebrate the courage and strength it took to embark on your search for help on this journey! As your counselor, my priority is honoring your personal goals for growth and healing.

I have a very simple approach to therapy. I believe clients seek out therapy already equipped with the tools and qualities necessary to have a successful and happy life. Sometimes, these skills are clouded by grief, depression, stress, anxiety, etc. Maybe you are scared by the future, or stuck in the past. My job is to help you work through those issues, and assist in tapping into those natural strengths. As you become more aware of your strengths, you become more confident in yourself. Then, amazing things can happen.

We all could use a little help sometimes with this business of being human. Anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts can weigh us down and keep us from flourishing. I guide clients to develop healthier thinking patterns and coping strategies, increase mindful attention to your inner life, and develop the capacity to embrace the broad spectrum of human emotions to empower you to live the life you want.
