I have much experience with various populations and age groups and provide my services in your home, as that is where people feel most comfortable and that is where many of life's challenges occur.

Making change is a big part of counseling. In order to make change there needs to be motivation and with that motivation comes strength.

Let our team help you find your inner strength! We have therapists on staff trained in EMDR and Sand Tray Therapy.

Hello! What a brave decision to find a therapist who can help guide you in achieving your specific goals, needs, & problem-solve issues with you. If you are looking for assistance in changing things in your life, then you've already accomplished one of the hardest parts: deciding to do something about it! It's hard to tell if I'm "the right fit" over the computer, but if you are willing to do the honest & sometimes uncomfortable work for yourself, change is possible & could mean I'm the therapist for you.

My goal through therapy is to empower and motivate the client to make positive changes towards their goals. While the initial focus of therapy is on symptom relief; the ultimate goal is a deeper understanding of who you are and why you do the things you do. I believe the basis of any good therapy experience lies in the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client. Once that is established, good work can be done. My approach is very Solution-Focused involving Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, & Mindfulness.
