You may choose therapy for multiple reasons. Whether you are here to resolve relationship conflicts, life transition, loss, trauma, or to manage stressors with work; taking this first step can be quite challenging as well as rewarding. Experiencing life's conflicts are often the most demanding aspect of our daily lives; problems often become bigger when you try to ignore them.

Life can be messy, some seasons deplete us of all that we have, and it can feel impossible to navigate it all, at times. Overcoming the seasons and trials in life can be emotionally draining and oftentimes very discouraging. But you do not have to do it alone, and you do not have to have all of the answers. One of the biggest joys for me in being a counselor is, to come along side individuals and couples, like you, fighting to stay afloat and walk with them through their journey to healing and restoration.

Whether it is your first time in therapy or another step in an ongoing process of self-learning, I am here to be a compassionate outside perspective to help you explore patterns and beliefs that are not yielding the results you want in your life.
