Our therapist-client relationship is one that relies on our shared wisdom. You are the expert in the subject area of you, while I bring therapeutic resources and my own lived experience.

I am a dedicated therapist committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore challenges and achieve growth. My approach is empathetic and collaborative, focused on empowering individuals to understand their experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and reach their full potential.

I believe that a healthy outlook comes from having a good grasp of your ABC's... Accept, Balance, Cope. People often say things like, "I need to let it go," or "I need to forgive ...," etc. But we rarely talk about what it means to do that. Those phrases mean accepting that life is what it is-a balance of both good and bad-and making a choice to focus on the things we CAN change. Then "it" can stop directing our lives-we cope. Whether you need to let go of anger, fear, or sadness, I can help!

Therapy can be very beneficial for individuals willing to have the courage to be vulnerable and open to change. While most people tend to seek therapy after the fact, when things have gone wrong, I also encourage therapy as a means of maintaining wellness. By being proactive, versus reactive, you may find that you'll experience greater happiness and less stress. If you've done your research then you know there are many options for help, which can make it hard to choose; I standby the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship as key to making this work and encourage you not to give up if you don't feel connected at first.

Now accepting clients for telehealth. Life's challenges can be overwhelming and counseling helps build coping skills, boost self-esteem, improve relationships, and enhance overall wellness.
