I am someone who understands how anxiety, anger, sadness, trauma, moodiness, self-esteem, interpersonal problems, and substance use can impact a person's ability to cope with life demands such as work and relationships. Sometime life can seem so overwhelming, scary, and difficult to navigate. Please know there is help and hope for what you going through; I want to hear your story. I am here to support and guide you in recovery from painful past relationships and life events, addictions, difficult life transitions, loneliness, worry, sadness, and despair. Please know you are not alone in life struggles.
I offer a caring and collaborative approach in addressing treatment needs at a pace that you are comfortable with while utilizing an eclectic therapeutic process. My goal is to support your growth through evidence-based and relational-based interventions during and provide additional resources to supplement session work to create resiliency.
I respect your values as well as your spiritual journey. I am here to love and support you. I believe in uplifting and empowering you with grace and mercy wherever you are in your life, I want to help you. I believe in the healing power of love and kindness, of embracing what seems broken, and working towards a place of inner connection and peace.
