Your experiences, thoughts, and struggles are unique to you and so are your gifts, joys, and perspectives. Developing awareness around how your circumstances influence who you are helps you gain clarity and allows you to write future chapters of your life with intention. Counseling is a space to be seen without judgment and safely explore what it might look like to live into a future of intentionality and purpose. Pursuing your full, whole self is a gift you give not only yourself but to those around you.

As a therapist, I value creating an open and non-judgmental space to learn with individuals about their authentic experiences. In efforts to help someone live a life most fulfilling to them - I believe that compassionately discovering who you are, connecting to emotions, and navigating the complexities of life is something you don’t have to do alone.

The modern world spins so rapidly, and with such intensity, many individuals search for a therapeutic relationship that cultivates a distinctive space for authentic self-reflection. After all, reflecting in isolation is limiting since the only voice we hear is our own, which is often critical. Some individuals come to therapy to reconnect with their nature, others to process a paradoxical state of healing sickness. Some come to rust away their armor, others to unify in the curative presence of relational synchronicity. Ultimately, one comes to therapy by virtue of being a genuine expression of hope, resilience, and self-empowerment.
