Clients come to counseling for various reasons. In my experience with the clients, some of them just needed time and space for them to be heard because they did not have that resource with others in their life. Their friends and family could be great support but couldn’t necessarily offer professional help such as treatment. Some people, including myself, may struggle with things they are not able to express clearly. Some may be just confused about life and need some coaching from the counselors.

I strive to provide a supportive environment where you feel comfortable working on the challenges in your life. By developing uniquely tailored goals to meet your therapeutic needs, we will work together to optimize your confidence, connections with others, and life balance.

Oftentimes we find ourselves struggling to break from long-standing patterns that force us to be rigid in the ways we relate to the world around us and the world within in us. These patterns, which seek consistent expression in our daily lives inhibit us from experiencing true presence during the most precious moments of our existence while hindering our pursuit of success. I work with individuals, couples, and families who seek to free themselves from these damaging patterns so that a more flexible, authentic way of relating to the world can emerge.

My ideal client is ready to share, learn, and be curious about their wellness journey. They want to share their hopes and fears as a way to clarify what they want to gain from therapy. I have honed my skills of client connection, combined with clinical expertise, to learn & assess the client's current needs.
