Everyone has a story that matters. Through a collaborative approach to therapeutic treatment, we can work to establish a safe, encouraging, and trusting environment to promote personal growth. I believe our counseling relationship can help recognize client strengths, goals, and potential. When exploring current ways of thinking or behaving, we can further identify positive solutions that can be maintained over time. It is an honor to be a steppingstone in your journey to healing and I take responsibility in providing the best care to fit your needs.

As counselor, I see therapy involving a very individual, 'person centered' approach. "I believe that every person has the internal resources they need for growth & healing, and to find their direction and progress in the therapy process." I support the client on their path to success, providing empathy, acceptance for who they are and where they are, while offering a non-judgmental orientation. I encourage the client with the freedom to explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences in our time together.

I help clients build practical skills that support emotional regulation and greater steadiness in daily life. Together, we focus on developing self-awareness, learning cognitive and mindfulness-based tools, and understanding how your nervous system responds to stress. I believe that once we understand why we react the way we do, meaningful change becomes possible. Our work is structured and supportive, helping you turn insight into action and respond to challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I draw from evidence-based approaches and have specialized training in working with anxiety, dissociation, and PTSD.

I believe that people do have the ability to change but often need a little help to reach their goals.

If you are like most people who come to therapy, you've probably felt like you've been running in circles for a long time. Dealing with the same feelings, thoughts, memories, and worries over and over again. In the meantime, you've noticed your life passing you by. What if you could start your life TODAY? What if you don't have to wait? Healing comes from the Latin word for 'wholeness.' To heal is to become whole again. We believe within the pain of suffering can lay our greatest strengths. And there is no part of you that deserves to be cast aside. We don't focus on changing who you are, but on creating the life that you want.
