Creating and living a life you are proud of is certainly easier said than done. I'm here to help assist you through the ups and downs of the human experience. I believe all people have the potential and ability to create happiness for themselves, but I recognize that, at times, a modest amount of guidance is necessary. Therapy can be an invaluable experience for all individuals, and whether you are struggling with family stress, identity issues, addiction, or depression, I am here for you.
Far too often we put our mental health on the back burner. Life creeps up on us and before we know it, all of the best years and experiences have passed us by. You deserve therapy. You deserve kindness. You deserve to take time out of your busy schedule to focus on YOU.
I approach therapy with a healthy mix of direction, kindness, and, of course, some light-hearted humor. I have experience working with both voluntary and court-mandated clients, and my years as a therapist has taught me that we all deserve some self-compassion and empathy. Let's work together and re-introduce self-love and tenderness into your life.
