For a long time, you have tried to "hold it together." Perhaps, you may have prided yourself in your ability to power through challenging circumstances. You have finally reached your limit and the stress has taken its toll. I tell clients to think of therapy as a navigation system. You put the destination in the GPS and the GPS guides you in the right direction. Think of me as your guide. My clients are free to choose their destination. We may take detours, and pit-stops, but we will safely, reach those destinations. It is your turn to rise. RISE from overwhelming feelings, depression, loneliness, anger, self doubt and choose YOU!

Welcome! My ideal client is someone who's ready to take the driver's seat in their life journey. If you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or relationship struggles – anything that weighs heavy on their mind, I'll provide clarity, peace, and a sense of direction.

In the first few sessions, I try to get to know a client’s general history—that includes learning their background and what’s most important to them. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is key for vulnerability and change. It’s important that clients feel we are working together and that we both share their vision of what they want out of life. Therapy is hard, but it’s rewarding work for everyone involved. I want my clients to know that I’m invested in the process alongside them. It’s also important that clients know that this is a safe relationship, where they can give feedback, use humor, and be themselves.

You're ready to re-create a new and improved story for your life. You're ready to let go of fear and negative thoughts of not being enough. I'm here to tell you, you're not alone. I will meet you where you are as we work together in a collaborative and supportive relationship.
