In the famous words of Eric Matthews, (BMW) “Hey bro, life’s tough, get a helmet!” If only it were that easy, right!? This statement from my old sitcom obsession hit deep the first time I heard it, but has really engraved itself deeper the older, more experienced with life I have gotten. I’ve learned very quickly and/or the hard way that walking around with a helmet on wouldn’t make much of a difference at all and would probably just add to the stressors and hardships of life. Today’s world is different. Today’s world is hard. Today’s world can be scary. But most importantly, you don’t have to go through today’s world alone.

Life is a journey. How often have you heard that? As we find our road through life, we all need inspiration and guidance. Having an outside perspective to navigate that journey can help us view our path through a different lens. It is my goal as your therapist to create a safe, supportive, and accepting environment for you to share your story. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for therapy. Whether it's learning coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or just having someone to talk to, I get it. Life isn't easy and you don't have to tackle this journey alone.

It is my honor and pleasure to join with you on the journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation as we work together to find new ways to navigate the difficulties and experience a 'New Chance' at living the life you desire. I sincerely hope that the work we do together will support you in reaching your personal goals and empower you to live your best life. You can learn to manage your emotions, your relationships, increase stability, find solutions to life problems, and gain a sense of purpose/meaning. I am experienced with multiple approaches such as; CBT, EMDR, ACT, Person-centered, and recovery-oriented modalities.
