What do you want to work on? What’s helped you in the past? What goals do you have for the future? These kinds of questions can feel overwhelming, especially if you don't know the answers or even where to start. For a lot of people, not knowing can be enough to stop them from reaching out for help.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for or what goals you want to achieve. Sometimes, just taking the step to reach out and showing up is enough—and it’s a powerful first step toward growth and healing.

My clients come to me with emotional pain. They may not like themselves, feel alone or different, and worried/depressed. They may feel like they have no control or have lost the control that they used to have. They feel stuck or like they don't belong. We work together so that they leave with a sense of freedom and empowerment. They feel like they can be their true selves. They have hope. Clients have told me "I feel safe now", "I never knew I could feel this good", "I actually like myself now. I didn't know I could".

Every client comes from a different background, with different experiences, needs, thoughts, and expectations. With this in mind, my goal is to listen, discuss, and try to understand my clients, where they are coming from, who they are, and why they need me. Together with my clients, we work to identify goals that the client feels are significant and important, and then develop plans on how to achieve these goals in reasonable, managable, and most importantly, healthy steps.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist/Counselor my goal is to provide families, couples and individuals with a safe environment where they can explore themselves and the possibility of change within their life and their relationships. Our lives are centered on relationships with others. Relationships are the building blocks of life; but, they can also be very debilitating. When those relationships become troubled, sometimes assistance from family and friends may not be enough to find balance within yourself or other relationships. Lucky for us, there are people who have dedicated their lives to helping others along their journey.

It’s the struggle between not being understood and not being able to communicate your needs. There’s a solution, but its only temporary and causes just as many problems as it solves. Wallowing in shame, doubt and embarrassment is starting to weigh too heavy. Conflicting racing thoughts and emotions make the situation that much worse.

What would you do tomorrow if you woke up free from that little voice of doubt, anxiety, and self-loathing? As a therapist, I love to explore the answer to that question with you. It’s my belief that we all are deserving of living into our greatest selves, but that this voice and its irrational nature prevent us from doing so. In an effort to change its narrative, we work together to explore, challenge, and reframe the negative core beliefs at the root of your suffering. It is the dual process of building self-awareness through empathetic exploration of blind-spots and the development of a strong therapeutic connection.
