First - welcome. The path to pursuing therapy and facing life’s challenges (both new and old) may feel daunting. You’re no longer holding your anxiety, worries, grief, stress and sadness alone.

Our main goal is to provide a warm, inviting, and relaxing environment for our clients to engage in individual, family, couples, and/or group therapy with a professional who is skilled in meeting their clinical needs.

Sometimes life is hard and things do not always go as planned. I'm here to help you through the tough times. Whether you're just starting out, or have been struggling for a while, I'm here to offer support, knowledge and guidance so that you can feel more confident about who you are and what you want out of life. I've been supporting adults, adolescents, children, and families in both the school and community mental health setting for over a decade. As a therapist, school counselor, and EMT, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to ask for help, especially when you are used to providing assistance to others.

I have discovered that the key to effective therapy does not lie in any particular method, but rather the authenticity of the relationship. Effective treatment relies on listening to people in the deepest possible way; listening for an individual to tell me what they really want and need, and how they will best be able to receive that. One really has to know how to speak respectfully, and in accordance with the client's world view. Only then can the creative process begin, whereby that person can access new ways of seeing and sensing themselves and the world around them.
