The purpose is to help clients that have paused on their journey due to life circumstances; seek true identity, learn tools for success, motivate, inspire hope, and embrace the process of self-improvement.

Therapy is difficult to navigate and can feel messy for the whole system (friends, family, work, school, and more). I value your experience and how that has shaped core beliefs.

I believe everyone has the innate ability to change. My role as your therapist is to facilitate change in areas you want to see improvement. I work from a person centered approach which is a nondirective, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process.

I take clients ages 12 and older effected by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relational issues and work stress.
