Life is like a seed. With some patience, consistency, and the basic essentials, that seed will grow and bloom into a beautiful flower. Sounds basic and cliche right? That may be a basic metaphor, but it’s factual. I am committed to help not only process and explore the factors that hinder your ability to grow as an individual, but to develop and provide the basic tools/skills needed to become that flower. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and judgement-free zone that allows one to be themselves and explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

Those things that hurt, instruct (Benjamin Franklin). It is often through pain and adversity that we experience growth and create change in our lives.

We will work together to cultivate powerful insights that provide the path needed to reach your goals.

I follow my clients for at least one year.

All good psychotherapy has these elements in common: the presence of empathy; a process for self-examination; tools for healing and change; and support during the process of change. Whether the focus of therapy is improving marriage, negotiating a family problem, facing addiction, healing trauma, or controlling anxiety or depression symptoms, clients deserve empathic, respectful support in increasing their self-understanding and in changing their lives. People seek therapy because they need understanding, help, and relief--the relief that comes from immediate attention to their suffering, and relief that comes from beginning to hope for a more peaceful, joyful life.
