I have many years of experience in the social service/counseling field. Trials can be seasonal but nonetheless, at times, be a very painful process. Navigating through trials while feeling hopeless, worthless and helpless can be very challenging. I believe counseling can be a healthy outlet and a place to regain hope, motivation, and support. Whether you are struggling with a mood disorder, life transition, finding a purpose, or spiritual warfare, seeking counseling can be the first step to resolving internal and external conflict. Make counseling part of your self-care plan.

I see one of the most important roles as a therapist to be putting in the work to earn someone’s trust and walking beside them as an accomplice on their path towards growth. I don’t believe that people are “broken” or “need to be fixed”, but rather that somewhere within every person lies the capacity to generate change. I believe this change begins by finding someone trustworthy to support them through this process. And—that being kinder and gentler towards ourselves goes a long way to building the foundation for this change to occur.
