****Currently Accepting New Clients July 2024**** Meeting the Clients where they are… Searching out and seeking help from a mental health professional can be scary and overwhelming. I believe the key to building a strong therapeutic alliance is meeting the client where they are. As a therapist my role is to provide non-judgmental unconditional positive regard, to help my client with exploring and overcoming life’s challenges. The therapeutic process is meant to be an empowering and enlightening experience. As a therapist, I meet my client in a dark, confusing place and we journey together to a place of peace and inner well-being.

In a world that throws all sorts of demands, challenges, and difficulties at us, we might often feel like we are being pulled in many different directions.

Figuring out how to move forward can be painful, frightening, and even seem overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure of where to start. I’d like to collaborate with you in envisioning the path you can take through hardships, and how you can achieve your goals.

I believe healing from trauma, grief, deep-seated depression, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, chronic self-doubt, wounded inner child, and inner loneliness can be possible. Life can improve, people can change, and hope and answers exist. My goal as your counselor is to nurture your emotional health for those wanting peace, healing, and accepting life’s tribulations as they come. In our counseling session, I foster you a safe place to express yourself with warmth, empathy, trust, genuineness, and respect.

My focus in therapy is to help individuals and couples increase their level of self-acceptance and their ability to engage and connect in love, sex, and intimacy. I believe that life is messy and that everyone's situation is a product of their environment, experiences, knowledge, and previous decisions. I gravitate to Solution Focused based therapy with a touch of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques.

If you are looking for a holistic, integrative, and personal approach to your mental health and well-being, then you have found your place. Our therapists respect your individual journey and the challenges you may face or are facing. We strive to help you find your own place of healing by acknowledging, embracing, and allowing you to come to understand yourself as a unique and wonderfully made spiritual being.

No one enjoys feeling trapped, incapable of escape, and unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is all the more true when the bonds of our entrapment are made up of our mind, our relationships, and our circumstances. While there is a limit to what each person has control over in their lives, many have control over far less than what they are capable of. My goal is to help you increase your power over yourself, closing the gap between where you are and where you could be.
