A client once told me, “Finding the right therapist is like finding the right boyfriend,” and while therapy isn’t intended to be a long-term commitment, there are some similarities, including the need for trust, safety and compatibility. Clients often share with me things that they don’t tell anyone else, and it is important to find the right fit – someone you trust who has the skills to help you work through your specific struggles. I have been working in the field for over 20 years, and see adults (ages 18+) in individual counseling.

Sometimes our life experiences can feel overwhelming, often holding us back from living the life we wish to enjoy. When we get caught in this vicious cycle, it can feel defeating and all hope can seem to be lost. I believe this isn't something you need to go through alone.

Stress is inevitable, it's how we respond to it that matters. While stress can be a catalyst for spiritual, physical, and emotional growth, it impacts our well-being. During stressful times, it's important to recognize emotional and physical changes. Often, we neglect our internal experiences because of the fear of pain. When we avoid the pain, we essentially shut ourselves off from growth. My goal is to support you through challenging times, allowing you to open fully to the present moment by incorporating compassion-oriented & mindfulness-based strategies to withstand the suffering and lean into a growth mindset.

I believe counseling is helpful for anyone experiencing a bump in the road, or feeling stuck and in need of a guide along the path. In the counseling process, we both bring our expertise to help you get to where you want to be: You bring your expertise about yourself -- your strengths, and the ways you typically act. I bring my expertise in healing, growth, change and human development.

I believe in providing individualized care that works in the best interest of the client. When working with clients I utilize various theoretical techniques and modalities including person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients reach their goals. I hope to walk alongside you on your road to self discovery.
