Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again.

As Rupi Kuar writes, “If you were born with the strength to fall, you were born with the strength to rise.” Often, we forget that phases are temporary when we are down. We all know where we “want” to be, and sometimes need an extra perspective into getting us there. Whether you are freshly beginning college, struggling to find a work/life balance, or experiencing burnout, working through stressors can be difficult to face alone. Practicing from a person-centered and holistic approach, I enjoy working alongside my clients to develop personalized goals to allow room for their growth and healing.

I view the road to transformation and healing to be a collaborative process in which your personal knowledge and strengths will be used in conjunction with my clinical approach to discover a future filled with hope and possibilities.

If you are looking for a safe space to work through the challenges that life throws your way, then you have come to the right place.
