Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable brings growth. I will be here to facilitate for you and walk alongside you every step of the way. Life is like a puzzle, trying to piece it all together. Some parts are easier than others, and some pieces don’t seem to fit, but once it’s complete… it feels worth it! For me, therapy goes beyond just a back-and-forth dialogue about your experiences. It should be an impactful learning experience. I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey we call life, helping you navigate the difficult aspects and explore your true self.

Together, we will explore your thoughts, work through your feelings, and look at your relationships with others. As you try to put words to what's on your mind, the energy you spend on your worries will become yours to do with as you please. If you are not getting what you want out of life, therapy can help you begin to change.
