Life experiences shape the way individuals view themselves, their relationships, and their environment. Adverse experiences can leave individuals conflicted and overwhelmed. As a therapist it is my passion to support children and adults make sense of their experiences, understand their impact, and better connect with themselves.

At Willis CC, our guests are encouraged to challenge themselves & find new ways to cope with life’s challenges. We believe to be human is to experience pain. We believe suffering, while part of the human experience, is not the identity of our humanity. Therefore, helping you hold pain lightly & with compassion while taking action to change your life is essentially what therapy is all about. We are dedicated to offering support & nurturance to those seeking a new direction while holding onto their values. You don’t have to see a therapist for the rest of your life, in fact, the sooner you need us less, the better for everyone!
