As Covid-19 continues on the downturn, I will not be providing anything other than in-person sessions.
About
Whether you find yourself skeptical or familiar with counseling I'd like to, at the very least, create a safe space for individuals to feel seen and known. I specialize in helping couples and individuals through life transitions, career exploration, parenting, Sexual addictions, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and trauma related issues. I want to help those who are struggling to identify their deeper needs as to be aware of how to move towards others and not away.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in my therapy. Overall, I believe at the core of all people is the the question of value and worth and ones own awareness of themselves. I desire to meet my clients where they are and help them understand themselves better through curiosity.
At times life can be full of uncertainty, sometimes it can seem unrelenting but I believe in hope and teaching my clients to hope once more. If you are struggling I would be so honored to walk alongside you, your children, your relationships, and your marriage.
