Navigating through life’s challenges can be difficult. As life becomes more overwhelming, even the smallest of tasks can seem impossible. Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. As the great Brené Brown says “vulnerability is our greatest measure of courage.” My priority is creating a safe, non-judgmental, and validating environment to provide a space for healing. I believe that when people are truly heard, the healing process begins.

Life can bring stressors, changes and challenges that affect all aspects of our health. These things can have a great impact on not just our mental and emotional health, but also our physical and spiritual health. If you are struggling with relationships, social issues, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, grief, trauma or a life transition, I desire to build a trusting rapport with my clients and empower them to develop new skills to manage anything that life can throw at you. I believe therapy is about healing, change and having a safe, comfortable place to grow emotionally, relationally, mentally and spiritually.

Life is often challenging and overwhelming. To help navigate life’s challenges and guide you through the healing process, I provide therapy in an accepting and compassionate environment. Finding the right therapist to meet your needs is important. If you are dealing with anxiety and stress, learning new coping skills to overcome and manage these feelings is vital. Although my therapy practice is always individualized, we will likely practice mindfulness meditation and deep breathing exercises to help enable you to deal with these feelings when they arise.

*not taking new clients* You have probably found your way to my page because you are unhappy with the way you feel and want a solution. My passion is assisting people like you to overcome some of life’s greatest challenges, while instilling hope for a more fulfilling future.

Accepting new clients - The current situations in the world can make us feel lonely, heartbroken, or like giving up. This can be a very hopeless and dark place for many of us. Feelings of sadness can create emotions that we can't see an end to, or way out of. You might not have anyone that you think will understand or "get it", so giving up or living in isolation is the easiest solution, however, there are positive ways to cope and find the light at the end of the tunnel. We all need a way to overcome the storms in our lives, and feel peaceful in order to live the best life we can.
