When people are at the point of yearning for something different but find themselves stuck and needing an ally to support them in the journey of being the best version of themselves, therapy is a great resource. When people experience trauma, it is not uncommon for life to become overwhelming. When people struggle and feel stuck it can be difficult to figure out where to start. My passion is triggering that yearning to help others develop a mindset and lifestyle where they work towards being the best version of themselves. I am excited to support you in your journey of being the best version of yourself!

I believe therapy is where a person is able to elicit assistance, for any set of struggles, by an unbiased, non-judgmental, empowering professional in a safe environment. Each person gets individualized treatment through their specific goals and tailored interventions. Through active listening, I support each client in identifying current areas of concern, collaborating with them to promote independence and self-reliance, and increasing their ability to overcome obstacles holding them back from achieving what they would like to achieve.

Welcome. Our large practice has over 200 openings! We focus on the relationship with your therapist. Working through conflicts or past pain happens through experiencing, not just through merely reading or thinking about things. Gaining self acceptance and discovering how to bring an open heart to your family or intimate relationships does not come simply from acquiring an insight, or from reading a "how to" book. It starts with the healing relationship... and the only way you will find out how comfortable you might feel with your therapist is to talk to them in person. My focus in treatment is on the relationship.

My ideal client is anyone who is open-minded to change difficulties in their life. Whether that is related to anxiety, substance use, sadness or general life transitions, I strongly believe that working together towards making a positive change and behavioral growth is best done in a supportive, warm, and welcoming environment. I primarily see adults that are struggling with some aspect in their lives that just aren't working anymore and detracting from living a fully realized existence.
