“Change is the only constant in life”. Your job, age, environment, relationships, etc. are constantly changing. Often this change brings with it stress, anxiety, confusion, etc. It is so easy for a major life transition to unearth old wounds or magnify unhelpful patterns. This can be incredibly overwhelming, and you don’t need to face it alone. I desire to create a space where you can be authentic and assured that your vulnerability will be engaged with the utmost respect. My goal is for you to experience the freedom that comes through counseling and processing life circumstances together.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client supports the client's capacity for self-understanding, insight, and change. Therapy is also a space for clients to learn how to establish a healthy connection with their life experiences. Cultivating a healthy connection with life is an important factor; it helps clients reduce a range of negative and overwhelming thoughts and feelings associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. Ultimately, therapy can help clients reconcile difficult emotions and experiences, so they can restore a sense self-worth, and an ability to feel safe and trust (others and themselves).

I understand that it can be quiet challenging and scary to know at which point you felt lost in control of your life. It can be even scarier to know whom to rely on or whom to open up to during this most critical time.
