My goal with every client is to create a relaxed, personal and safe environment where you can feel supported in your journey. While I actively partner with a client, I believe that therapy is about offering guidance, reflections and ideas; therapy is not about telling a client what to do! Together we identify goals, prioritize steps and solve problems. Through therapy, you will learn the skills needed to successfully overcome the challenges your are facing in your life.

If you feel overwhelmed, are experiencing stress, sadness, loneliness, grief, anger, or are struggling in your relationships, there is hope! I firmly believe that it is never too late for change, and I am passionate about helping people gain the tools they need to thrive. My approach to counseling is grounded both in psychological and biblical principles as I provide a supportive, practical and positive environment to help clients reach their goals, develop inner-strength, and grow in relationships with others.

Sometimes people with the worst pasts end up creating the best futures. It is my goal as a therapist to help you reach that future. We all have struggles, failures and regrets.

I promise to provide you a safe place to examine what is causing you emotional distress and to help you explore and develop new cognitive and emotional skills to overcome the barriers that are keeping you from living your best life!

All I know for sure is that in life, things change. Change that disrupts your life, work, relationships and your health. It can cause overuse of substances and the ability to regulate your emotions. When these changes come, we can feel overwhelmed, angry, scared, sad or alone. We may desire healthier, more validating relationships .What would it feel like to be able to say, "whatever comes, I have the skills and knowledge to handle it and it will be ok"? . It is important to feel that you have the strategies to manage what comes your way and set goals that ensure your life is one worth living.
