Are you or someone you love struggling emotionally/mentally or maybe experienced trauma? Healing is possible! Entering therapy can be scary and come with fears but you drive therapy which means healing is in your hands! Through the eyes of Unconditional Love, we understand that all behaviors make sense given context! That means there is a reason why we do what we do! You can discover the reasons behind your behaviors or that of loved ones!! Identify the undesired behavior, discover the root/reason, process through the root/reason, let it go, and find healing!!

Life can be overwhelming, exhausting, and even lonely at times. The everyday battle of constant pressures and overload of doubts, worries, and negativity can sometimes be too much. Especially, as a
child
, adolescent, or young adult who is trying to navigate the confusing balance of school, relationships, and expectations, while handling the changes that come with growing up. No matter where those pressures are coming from, having a safe space where you can connect, be heard, and work through those situations and emotions can be life changing.

children

Life becomes too difficult; you need an objective someone to talk to, listen to your story, and provide encouragement that you can not only survive what you are going through, but work to find purpose and meaning in the midst of the storm. The most important aspect of therapy is the Client-Therapist relationship. Once it is determined that the Client is comfortable with me, then it is a collaborative effort to help facilitate the healing process through the life changes the Client faces. My job is to provide a safe place for change and growth to happen.
