When working with clients, I see people as unique individuals who are trying to find their own meaning for their lives and a purpose in life. Through therapy we can learn so much about ourselves and our goals which we might not even be aware of up to this point. Part of my belief in therapy is centered in the idea that each person is capable of reaching their desired self or achieving self actualization. I believe individuals and relationships are trying to find their best possible versions of self. In my practice I emphasize promoting communication and emotional awareness.

Waitlist currently in place. Email is best for quicker response. Life is a series of steps we take, shifting from one level to another, but this journey is not always lateral or forward-moving. This is true throughout our lives, through transitions of all kinds, whether they be emotional, spiritual, mental, or physical in nature. It can be surprising and daunting when life's blueprints don't unfold as planned, and we all need help sometimes to connect with our authentic selves and build flexibility to throw out the old and build anew.
