Life's difficulties are inviting you to re-invent yourself. Choosing to take part in counseling is making the conscious decision that you want to make some changes and you want life to be better. Would you like to feel heard and understood? How about being interested in learning ways to help you manage problems, cope with anxiety, or get ahead of depression? I want to help you understand how old ways of thinking and acting may be keeping you from getting what you would like out of life.

Seeking therapy can help in dealing/coping with the problems life may bestow on you. As a counselor, my goal is to assist you in finding your strengths to overcome obstacles that may be interfering with achieving your life goals. Whether it's coping with recent changes or past traumas, therapy can be a beneficial tool in assisting you in becoming the healthiest version of you.

Life is full of hills and valleys, and sometimes we need help to make it through parts of our journey. I view therapy as an opportunity to provide you support and walk beside you through these challenging times. Whether you are facing a period of transition with a new job or dealing with long-term symptoms, therapy allows you to process your experiences with guidance and education to better understand your situation and work on improving it. Together, we will develop strategies to improve your life, such as constructing individual boundaries to help with improving relationships to developing behavioral plans for your children.
