I'm ready to help you through the battlefield of trauma, frightening experiences, broken trust,and self-loathing that have altered how you view the world, how you approach other people, and how you feel about yourself. Healing is hard work, but is well worth the struggle. However, you should not have to do it alone. Take the first step and seek help, from someone. It shouldn't have to be this hard.

When a person is truly dedicated to working towards change, healing, and growth; amazing things can happen.

As a therapist, I am strongly dedicated to breaking stigma and normalizing mental health treatment. Whether you are going through a difficult transition, struggling with a substance use or mental health issue, or just working on becoming a happier and more stable version of yourself: I would be privileged to assist you on your journey. My client criteria is simple: be open, be willing, and trust the process.

I believe sometimes we get to a place where we feel stuck, frustrated, or hopeless and need someone to support and assist us without judgment.

Issues of grief, depression, near-death experiences, spirituality, spiritual wounding/trauma, life transitions. Soul work. "There is one spectacle grander than the sky; that is the interior of the soul." - Victor Hugo. The original meaning of the word "psyche" meant soul, so in essence "psychotherapy" meant "therapy of the soul." Although I can help the individual cope better with the symptoms or issues they might be experiencing, if the individual is willing, I also want to help that person find the deeper meaning of those symptoms and issues, and in finding that meaning, begin to experience transformation and growth - new life.

I diagnose and treat clients with a person-centered, individualized approach, focusing on strengths and wellness to promote resiliency and growth.
