When pain enters our lives, it can be powerful and disheartening. This oftentimes causes us to isolate ourselves from others. I believe that healing is rooted in connection. My hope is that clients find their strengths and inner resources in order to improve their overall quality of life. Everyone deserves a fresh start. I work hard to provide a safe, therapeutic environment for my clients so they can start their personal, meaningful journey.

Human beings are not born with a manual in their hands about how to face life; we just do the best we can. We try, we have questions, we look for answers, for change. But we often feel frustrated, angry, sad, and often, don’t know why? We search for happiness, but often don’t know where to find it. This is not an easy road, but I believe that we are resilient and capable of finding answers.

Life is difficult and requires constant change, adjustment, and resilience. We need support at times. I am passionate about joining you on your journey to healing in spite of everything happening in your life. By providing a safe space and therapeutic relationship, I hope to be with you as you process your story, understand yourself in light of the pieces of your life, and identify a plan to restore health and hope. When we are unwell, it touches every part of our lives. I see therapy as an opportunity to build awareness of yourself, connect with what is happening internally in the presence of another, and begin implementing change.

Ever been in a situation where you felt like there was no escape? No where to run. No where to hide? Most importantly no one to talk to? When asked why I wanted to be a therapist, my reason why is for those individuals who feel as though there is nowhere to go. My why is for those who lost sight of happy endings because they have grown up through survival instead of being nurtured. My why is for those who feel trapped in discomfort and suffocated from their anxiety. My why is for you.
