Welcome, you have taken the first step in seeking therapy, finding a counselor. I am here to ensure that your experience is a positive one.

I believe in collaboratively setting goals with clients and empowering them to use their strengths to overcome difficulties.

Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in marital woes and discontent. I believe wholeheartedly in acknowledging, processing, and identifying triggers and being honest with our mates about what "our new normal," looks like and how external stressors add to marriage conflict. For those who are contemplating marriage, please consider having those difficult conversations in an effort to be proactive versus reactive. Finally, for families in conflict, consider making today the first day of changes, though small, that are needed to navigate into a better future.

Life isn't always what we expect it to be. And while family and friends can be great supports, sometimes we need an objective person to talk to who isn't personally connected to us. That's where seeing a therapist can help; you don't have to figure it all out by yourself. I provide a comfortable, caring atmosphere where you can speak freely without fear of judgment. We'll focus on the things that are important to you.

A caring, compassionate mental health provider with extensive training, expertise and experience is essential when looking for a competent therapist.
