"I believe, in each of us, there is an inherent need to be understood and accepted. I believe psychotherapy involves building a caring relationship in which clients feel safe and at ease. My goal for our time together is to help you better understand yourself, understand patters behind the choices you make and equip you with coping skills that will enable you to more effectively deal with life stressors."

LPC focused on offering individuals, couples, and adolescence proven clinical techniques to live a more meaningful and fulfilled life. When my clients are feeling lost, confused or stuck I am able to help facilitate growth by implementing a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental space- leading to self-empowerment, better connection with self and others, feelings of worthiness and love. My educational techniques include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems approaches, and mindfulness exercises. By practicing these techniques, the chains of repetitive, destructive behaviors will be broken, leading to a better quality of life.

Do you want a more lasting, loving relationship? I’ve learned that love is a huge component of relationship satisfaction but it does not “solve problems”. Sometimes you need help navigating relationship distress and finding your way back to each other. Other times, it’s suppressed emotions that are creating today’s conflicts. I’ll find value in helping you find direction in this process. I help couples identify barriers to intimacy, understanding, communication, and connection. My goal is to create a safe, accepting, caring, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel increasingly comfortable to express those unspoken emotions.

Do you feel sad, anxious, unfulfilled, or unsure what your next step in life is? Is everything going well, but still doesn’t feel right? Do you keep doing the same things over, knowing they don't work, but don't know to stop? I will meet you wherever you are in your journey and help you get where you want to be. In working with you, I bring an energetic, positive, warm, and honest approach. You will gain a deeper understanding of your habits, behaviors, feelings and thoughts that are getting in the way of your goals. I will teach you skills to make your life better and help you learn how to apply them in your everyday life.
