Mental illness and relationship problems are no longer taboo topics of conversation; they are real and widespread issues. A lot of people suffer quietly because they are afraid of being called "crazy" or told, "just stop feeling that way." If it were that easy, no one would have problems! The reality is that we all need help. We all need healthy relationships. We all need hope. My roles as a therapist are to show you empathy, emotional support, and acceptance, and to help you thrive no matter where you are on your mental health journey.

My counseling approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. By definition, this allows individuals to experience growth, positive outcomes, and fulfillment by actively participating in his or her own therapy in order to create change. Often, people lose hope when they think that things will never be different. They try and struggle and sometimes fail. But, you have an opportunity to think differently, relate differently, and transition from negativity to positive behaviors which will result in a powerful sense of self and promote strong interpersonal relationships.

Life's disappointments can leave us feeling shaken, shattered, or even destroyed, causing us to question our purpose or if we will ever feel whole again. If you have found yourself in this place, rest assured you are not alone. However, the pain that has defined your life for a season does not have to define your future. If you are ready to process the painful events of the past, address challenging events in the present, and step into a brighter future you are in the right place.
