Are you being the best version of yourself? Does life seem to flow with ease? Do you feel joyful? Therapy is a tool that can move you toward this state of being and way of living. Much of what we observe and experience in today's world may be chaotic, stressful and perhaps painful. How can we be "in the world" but not "of the world?" How can we be our best selves regardless of what surrounds us? Thinking patterns and unconscious habits are often barriers to living fully. How can we learn to transcend and live a life of hope and love.

Let me be there to help you navigate the difficult emotions, feelings, and obstacles that are holding you back from where you want to be.

Counseling is a compassionate, honest, thoughtful conversation where the client feels deeply heard and understood. Individual meaning and wellness come from the complex web of interactions, relationships, and social processes. In a safe and confidential environment, clients can unburden their stress, pain, and suffering without fear of judgment or criticism. Clients are encouraged to think outside the box to find unique solutions to life’s problems.
