When an individual or a couple chooses to enter into a therapeutic relationship, they are in essence choosing courage. Willingly putting one’s self in a vulnerable state of self-reflection and honesty is a hard thing for most people. But when this happens in a safe and judgement-free environment, wholeness and freedom can ensue.

Since I don’t know you yet, I can’t say why you’re here. Maybe it’s about something you’re experiencing on the inside: you worry a lot or are intensely stressed out or feel really low or numb or angry or lost. Maybe it’s more on the outside: arguments with friends and family or having a hard time in school or having a tough time slowing down or feeling comfortable in your own skin. Whatever it is, my role is to create and protect a place where your feelings (1) are real, (2) matter, and (3) can change for the better.
