I approach therapy as a form of collaboration that can spark change. Whether you are looking to discover the best version of yourself or overcome a challenging experience, we can tailor our time to best meet your needs. Painful thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns can interfere with being able to experience contentment in life. These difficulties can prevent us from attaining our personal or professional goals and often start to damage our relationships with the ones we love. By understanding and becoming aware of your underlying beliefs and emotions, we can explore how to best move towards acceptance and change in your life.

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” Nelson Mandela. I truly believe that anytime one asks for help, it takes strength and courage.

Reality can break you down, make you feel hopeless, helpless. I am here to show you the self-awareness, strength and confidence that we all need sometimes to conquer our fears and see hope for a brighter tomorrow.
