I view therapy as providing a safe, comfortable environment where a client is invited to share their journey through healing. As the therapist, I walk alongside you in trust to provide insight and guidance. I believe the client is truly the expert on his/her own needs and desires. It is my role as the therapist to bring these needs and desires to light. From there, I work with the client to evaluate the best ways to bring about change in their lives and how to practically implement those changes. This healing process empowers clients as they discover strengths and a deeper sense of peace.

There can be times in our life where we feel stuck, or in a pit without a way out. This may be life's normal rhythm or could be depression, substance abuse, related addictions, sex addiction, anxiety, relationship conflict, or unresolved trauma.

In my past career as a police officer, I worked to keep the public safe by arresting individuals, however, I now have dedicated my life to helping individuals find freedom rather than captivity.
