Hello! My offices are designed to enhance a calming environment so that persons who seek help feel calm and safe. That being said, also due to advanced technology with the sciences such as neuroscience, micro-biology, epigenetics, study on neuroplasticity and other research, we understand more than we ever did before. This allows us to enhance our skills and benefits to you. I hear you and work hard to adjust to your needs. More importantly, we can change, “Scientific Fact”.

As a counselor, I believe that each person was created with inherent value, individual experiences, and a deep history that forms who they are and who they are becoming. After time to reflect and process, meaning and purpose can be found in the most difficult circumstances. People often have the answers they are seeking within themselves, they just need a place to process through the possibilities. Watching people discover their capabilities is one of my greatest joys! I love being able to work with people to strengthen self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-compassion, & coping skills.

Sometimes life can surprise us and leave us feeling unworthy, anxious, or afraid.
