""Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it's holy ground. There is no greater investment." (Stephen Covey).

"When people experience trauma, relationship challenges, or heightened stress it is not uncommon to feel like life is unraveling and out of control. Our relationships may be damaged or we might be in a place of transition and we feel stuck. Therapy can help you move through these challenges to feel less pain and enjoy life more."

"I view counseling as an opportunity to explore areas of our lives that hold us back from truth, freedom, wholeness, and healthy relationships. I believe all people are broken, but our lives "make sense" in the context of our family background and life experiences. To me, counseling is about exploring that context to build self awareness as well as a space to learn new tools of coping and relating in an accepting environment. I feel it is an honor to hear your story and I deeply hope to create an environment that is safe, trusting, and conducive for the healing power of the counseling relationship."

As a therapist with over 25 years of experience, I have the ability to help you navigate thru your particular situation."

I realize that you are placing a great deal of trust in me, and I take that very seriously. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, behavior change, and couples counseling."
