I believe that ultimate wellness encompasses 8 different aspects of life. Wellness is more than just health. The model I use in therapy includes physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and intellectual wellness. This brings a holistic approach to evidence-based theories which helps create a supportive environment conducive to growth. It is often difficult to identify where we struggle and how to blend these 8 branches to find homeostasis and balance. My goal as a therapist is to help bridge the gap and provide a safe environment for individuals to explore this therapeutic journey.

Journey, Life, Balance. My philosophy is that therapy is a journey. I am a firm believer that a therapist is not a cure but can be a source of assistance to guide you through your own journey. We may not work together to get directly from point A to point Z as there may be unexpected stops, turns, or scenic views on the way. Sometimes change moves us forward, sometimes it sets us back, and other times it stagnates us in places we have been before. I am here to help with these changes. With the demands of work, family, friends, illness, and world events, we search for balance.

During these times, we all need a helping hand to navigate through our own individual life journey... It would be my honor to guide you through yours; providing a sense of hope, and helping you pave a positive, new pathway forward.
