As such, your own story is naturally filled with such complexities.

Every day you go through life with a smile on your face hoping that you can simply keep it together. In passing, people ask how you are doing, and you give the standard answer: “I’m fine. Thank you”, but deep down you wonder if anyone will ever see past the smile, and past that standard answer. You think to yourself, “Will anyone ever see the pain that I am carrying? Does anyone see Me? Does anyone even care!?”

The decision to seek counseling can be overwhelming. Finding the right fit and feeling like you are in a safe space can sometimes be a challenge. My goal as a therapist is to create a place where clients feel empowered, secure, and seen. I utilize an integrative counseling approach which allows me to tailor your treatment to your unique needs.
