"Over 20 years of practice, I have seen again and again how therapy helps people move from fear and disconnection to aliveness and self-acceptance. Therapy, to me, is not only about healing, but also about growth and finding fulfillment. It is about letting go of past ways of surviving and living more fully to one's potential. Ideally, therapy is a place where people can bring their full selves, without shame or judgment. I feel honored to accompany people as they take risks, open up, and make important life changes."

"Sometimes we get stuck and overwhelmed, these times can become distressing and at times unmanageable. More often than not having an understanding of our thoughts and feelings can make things more manageable and allows individuals to flourish. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) with over 10 years experience in the field. My theoretical approach embraces how I see change occurring. Foremost, I believe that counseling is a relationship between two units, me as the counselor and you as the client."
