I work from the assumption that we are all doing the best we can with what we know and with the resources available to us. Therapy is the ideal place to expand our understanding of ourselves and add to the skills that keep us resilient during life’s challenges. It takes bravery to be vulnerable enough to examine our deepest beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. A protective fear pops up whenever we ask hard questions because there is so much uncertainty: What if I can't handle it? What if I don’t know how to do life any differently? What if I’m ashamed? What if I’m no longer needed? What if it’s all for nothing?

The foundation to my practice is "Better relationships generate better people. Better people create better relationships." The people that we surround ourselves with and our own characteristics feed into one another, which can turn into a beautiful outcome. There are times when one or the other need healing and it is imperative to work to repair it to reap the benefits of "being whole" and experiencing fruitful relationships, especially if all parties are on the same page.

My belief is that every person needs support to work through life’s most challenging problems, and therapy is just one avenue of support. I have experience working in diverse settings including detention center, community based, outpatient, school, in-home, and residential with a diverse range of clients ages three to late adulthood.

Could you benefit from having someone help you process through the tough parts of life? Would you like to increase self-awareness and take charge of your own life? We all have the desire to derive meaning and purpose for our lives. With these attributes and guidance, we can use our thought processes to change behaviors, work through relationship issues, manage obstacles, and navigate changing life stages.

Maybe your mind feels like a giant ball of tangled yarn you can't unravel. Maybe you've thought about it a million times and replayed the same situation over and over again with no resolution. It could be that you're so exhausted from over-analyzing and over-thinking every single thing in your life. Maybe you feel hopeless and stuck. Maybe you look around and think to yourself, "there's got to be a better way." It could be the state of the world around you and the systems you live within seem impossible to navigate. Maybe it's everything all at once.

Learning to give yourself grace, accept the perfect imperfections that make us human, and balance relationships and responsibilities has it's challenges. Every experience in the lifespan has influenced who we have become, how we react to situations, and how we connect with others. The motivation to grow and learn, to feel and communicate is what I am looking for when we work together. Through counseling, we will identify and model healthy communication, reflect and process important events, and empower you to grow and heal from whatever may be holding you back from authenticity and connection in your life and relationships.

I believe most of us have an innate desire to be heard; to be seen as we are. We are hard-wired for connection. Achieving a healthy sense of self is fundamental to authentic and wholesome relationships. Feeling valued is essential in the healing process. When entering counseling, a person is looking for a change in their life. It is essential as a therapist, to hear the needs and desires expressed. Establishing trust and authenticity is foundational to beginning a healing journey. A big part of my role is to provide truth with honesty and compassion. Truth shared in a safe space acts as a powerful tool to promoting insight.

There comes a time in life when we can all start to feel a little "stuck." Some of us may be reaching a crossroads, and are uncertain of the path ahead. Others may know where they are going, but find that their mental health continues to get in the way of their goals. Anxiety or depression can effect us all, but you don't have to handle intrusive thoughts, or difficult emotions on your own.
