We are all humans with human experiences and challenges. Are you finding yourself sometimes feeling misunderstood by others and feeling like you have to wear a mask to hide who you really are? Having trouble getting along with others while feeling a deep sense of loneliness. Are you feeling life is against you and not going your way. Is your past traumas/unresolved issues creeping up and interfering with your present life. Are you sick of feeling sick and tired? If so, it sounds like it’s time to focus on your overall wellbeing. I have twenty plus years of experience counseling diverse individuals, families, and couples with life hardships and my goal is to guide you to live a healed authentic life. I will assist and challenge you with developing skills and the confidence you need to live the unapologetic life you desire by having non-judgmental genuine conversations about your fears and concerns. However, I will not coddle you because I believe that enables unhealed/unhealthy thinking and behaviors. Only want clients who are serious and committed to wanting therapy; not those who are just curious or unsure about starting therapy. Otherwise, the time is now, healing is possible. IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not counsel anyone with any form of addictions. I do not have any experience with any addictions.

Therapy isn’t just what happens in our sessions, it’s something I carry with me throughout my day. As I go about life, I often find myself thinking of my clients. I’ll come across a book, a quote, a peaceful spot, or even an everyday moment that makes me think, This could really help or I’d love to share this with them. It’s because I genuinely care about your journey, not just when we’re talking, but in between sessions too. My goal isn’t just to help you process things in the therapy room, it’s to find ways to support you in your everyday life, so healing doesn’t feel like something you do alone.
