Accepting New Clients! Beginning your therapy journey can possibly feel nerve-racking. Did you know that 75% of individuals who attend therapy demonstrate improvement in their life? However, only 20.3% of U.S. adults attend therapy. Everyone needs someone who can help them navigate through the tough obstacles life has to offer them. I approach each client with a person-centered focus and attempt to utilize their strengths. As a therapist, I believe each person is capable of achieving change.

Currently accepting new clients! Let’s be real: life is tough, often painful. Life is filled with twists and turns, and it can knock us down even farther when we believe we are already at our lowest point. In a perfect world, we would all be happy all the time, and nothing would ever hold us back. Unfortunately, life is not like that. Sometimes we need to admit to ourselves that we need some extra help, and that is okay. Sometimes the answers we seek are inside ourselves but may be impossible to find unless we allow another person in to provide us with insights that can give us a brighter tomorrow.
