When we are in the eye of the storm; it's difficult to sort through what is happening around us, and how it affects us on the inside. Simply starting therapy is often the hardest part.

We do laughter, we do healing.

I strive to create a welcoming, emotionally supportive, safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment for you to work on your therapeutic goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I believe in coming along side you in the therapeutic process to help create and prioritize achievable goals.
