My goal is to provide clients with a non-judgmental, empathetic, genuine and collaborative environment. I believe that a mutually trusting relationship between client and counselor is primary to personal change. With all clients, my goal is to have a safe, and comfortable environment in which clients can freely explore new ideas and resolve problems. Effective therapy can be a powerful way to achieve happiness, acceptance, and a greater satisfaction with life.

I believe in a very user friendly method of practice, and encourage clients to ask questions and let me know their concerns. Together we will determine what self-defeating behaviors are keeping you from reaching your potential and causing problems in your relationships. My style is down to earth and direct , while at the same time warm and empathic.

Mental clarity, emotional well-being, and inhabiting your body are birthrights. You claim them.

What would your life look like if you could snap your fingers and everything could change? What if your relationships with loved ones had less conflict? What if your stress levels were more manageable? Whether this is your first time in counseling or you’re searching for a new therapist that’s a “good fit,” I can help in tackling those questions. Here’s a quick snapshot of what our experience will look like together: I use an existential lens in therapy, which means that I enjoy teaming up with a client to explore the patterns of their life. Your life patterns are unique, and your counseling experience should reflect that.

I believe counseling is a holistic, healing and empowering process. There are many times throughout our lives when we get stuck in transitions, feelings, or in our own mind. Counseling helps us get comfortable within ourselves. It creates self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-compassion which in turn changes our perspective as we walk through our daily life.
